5-Scales 0.01mm Reticle Micrometer Crosshair Glass Microscope Slides

The 5 Scales 0.01mm Reticle Micrometer Crosshair Glass Microscope Slide is a precision calibration tool made from optical glass.

Product Overview

The 5 Scales 0.01mm Reticle Micrometer Crosshair Glass Microscope Slide is a precision calibration tool made from optical glass. It measures 25mm x 75mm x 1.1mm and features a crosshair reticle with five scales, each calibrated to 0.01mm. The X and Y axes each span 1mm over 100 divisions, enabling precise linear measurement under the microscope. Four calibration dots are embedded at 1.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.15mm, and 0.07mm for verifying optical magnification and focus accuracy.

  • MaterialOptical Glass
  • Slide Size25mm x 75mm x 1.1mm
  • Scale Resolution0.01mm per division
  • Measuring Range X0.01mm x 100 = 1mm
  • Measuring Range Y0.01mm x 100 = 1mm
  • Reticle TypeCrosshair with 5 Scales

Key Benefits

  • 0.01mm resolution across 100 divisions per axis enables precise measurement of small features
  • Crosshair reticle provides alignment reference for positioning and measurement
  • Four embedded calibration dots verify magnification and focus at multiple scales
  • Optical glass construction ensures flatness and minimal distortion under magnification
  • Standard 25mm x 75mm size fits most microscope stage holders and slide clamps

Application Scenarios

  • Calibrating microscope magnification and focus using the embedded calibration dots
  • Measuring micro-scale features such as solder joints, wire diameters, or surface textures
  • Verifying stage movement accuracy in X and Y directions during automated inspection
  • Training lab students in precise measurement techniques using a known reference scale
  • Validating digital image measurement software by comparing against the physical reticle

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers performing SMD and BGA inspection
  • Quality control labs verifying dimensional accuracy of micro-components
  • University and school teaching laboratories for hands-on measurement training
  • Metallurgy and materials testing labs measuring grain size or surface defects
  • Research labs requiring repeatable, traceable measurement references

Problems It Solves

  • A standard slide without a calibrated scale forces operators to estimate dimensions instead of measuring them
  • Lack of crosshair alignment makes it difficult to position features consistently under the lens
  • No embedded calibration dots means no way to verify magnification or focus accuracy during inspection
  • Low-quality glass slides warp or distort under heat or pressure, introducing measurement error
  • Inconsistent slide size prevents reliable mounting in automated or shared microscope setups

Technical Features

  • Optical glass material ensures flatness and minimal optical distortion
  • Crosshair reticle with five scales for multiple measurement reference points
  • 0.01mm per division on both X and Y axes, totaling 1mm range in each direction
  • Four calibration dots at 1.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.15mm, and 0.07mm for magnification verification
  • 25mm x 75mm x 1.1mm dimensions standard for most microscope stage holders
  • Single piece construction with no loose parts or moving elements

Customization Options

  • Custom scale spacing available upon request (e.g., 0.02mm or 0.005mm per division)
  • Custom calibration dot positions or additional reference marks
  • Alternative slide sizes (e.g., 22mm x 50mm) for specialized stage holders
  • Laser-etched or chemically etched reticle options based on visibility needs

Comparison With Other Options

Standard blank microscope slideThe reticle slide provides a calibrated scale and crosshair; a blank slide offers no measurement reference
Plastic reticle slideOptical glass has superior flatness and thermal stability; plastic may warp or scratch under repeated use
Reticle slide with only one scaleThis model includes five scales and four calibration dots, enabling multi-point verification and greater measurement flexibility

Use Guide

  • Place the slide on the microscope stage with the reticle facing up
  • Use the crosshair to align the feature being measured with the scale lines
  • Count divisions along X or Y to determine distance in 0.01mm increments
  • Use the calibration dots to verify magnification by measuring their known distances
  • Clean the surface with lens paper before use to avoid dust or residue affecting visibility

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the resolution of each division on the scale?

Each division is 0.01mm, with 100 divisions per axis totaling 1mm in both X and Y directions.

Can I use this slide for measuring solder joints?

Yes. The 0.01mm resolution allows precise measurement of small features like solder joints, wire diameters, or surface defects.

Are the calibration dots accurate?

Yes. The four calibration dots are etched at 1.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.15mm, and 0.07mm for verifying magnification and focus at different scales.

Is the reticle visible under all magnifications?

Yes. The crosshair and scale lines are etched into the glass and remain visible from 10X up to 100X and beyond, depending on illumination.

Can I clean the slide after use?

Yes. Wipe the surface with a soft lens cloth or lens paper. Avoid solvents that may damage the etched lines.
