Stage Micrometer

Description

Manufactured from high-quality optical glass, the stage micrometer features finely engraved and accurately spaced scale markings. A typical stage micrometer consists of a 1 mm scale divided into 100 equal parts, where each division represents 0.01 mm (10 microns), allowing users to calibrate microscopes with high accuracy.

The primary purpose of a stage micrometer is microscope calibration. This calibration process is crucial for accurate size estimation of cells, microorganisms, particles, fibers, and other microscopic specimens.

The clear and sharp engraved scale of the stage micrometer ensures excellent visibility under the microscope. The high contrast markings allow users to easily align the micrometer with the eyepiece scale, simplifying the calibration process. This clarity helps reduce errors and improves confidence in measurement results.

In medical and diagnostic labs, they support accurate analysis of blood cells, bacteria, and histological samples. In industrial and material science applications, stage micrometers assist in measuring fibers, particles, coatings, and surface features at the microscopic level.

Educational institutions rely on stage micrometers to teach students the principles of microscopic measurement and calibration. By using this tool, students gain a practical understanding of scale, magnification, and measurement accuracy, which are fundamental concepts in microscopy and scientific research.

Durability is an important feature of the stage micrometer. The engraved scale is resistant to fading and wear, ensuring long-term accuracy even with frequent use.

Accuracy and consistency are critical in microscopy, and the  micrometer plays a vital role in achieving both. By using a micrometer, laboratories can ensure standardized measurements across different microscopes and users.

In quality control and research environments, calibrated measurements help maintain data reliability and support compliance with testing standards. The stage micrometer provides confidence that microscopic measurements are traceable and precise.
