Eyepiece measuring plate
he eyepiece measuring plates are provided
m
into a ad-
stable eyepiece, how it will be described in

point 4.1.2. . The eyepiece - cross-line divides
the field of view into 4 quadrants and marks
the field of views centre. To use the eyepiece
measuring plates the eyepiece - line disk ver-
sion is unscrewed, and the line plate is in-
serted in such a way into these that the engrav-
ing points downward to the object. When
connecting, the screen is again screwed in.
The eyepiece measuring plate has to align ver-
tical to avoid measuring errors because of the
oblique viewing onto the object (parallax)

plate. For calibrating, the division is turned to
the objective. For direct linear measurement of
even objects these are placed on the object
measuring plate with the division downward
on the object surface.

calibration of 0.1 mm on a division length of
70mm. Moreover it orders a division of
2.0mm with a calibration of 0.01mm addi-
tionally in the centre of this division.

sc
digital form. After a calibration of the whole mi-
croscope system (with help of a measuring
plate) it is possible to measure this objects.
Several measuring programs are available.
For the use of these programs it is necessary
e
digital USB camera or a digital D-SLR camera
to the microscope (over the Photo-/TV tube).
The measuring programs will be describe
separately in the manual of the manufacturer o

manual).
