{"product_id":"lw-scientific-stage-micrometer-calibration-slide","title":"LW Scientific Stage Micrometer Calibration Slide MSS-STGE-MCMR — 1 mm Scale, 100 Divisions, 0.01 mm per Division","description":"\u003cp\u003eA microscope camera without a calibration slide is a viewing device, not a measuring device. Image capture software reports distances in pixels until something tells it what a pixel is worth — and that conversion changes every time you switch objectives. The LW Scientific Stage Micrometer is the physical reference that turns pixel counts into real dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slide carries a 1 mm scale divided into 100 equal parts, giving 0.01 mm (10 µm) per division. Place it on the stage, focus, and capture an image at each objective you use. The software is then calibrated against a known physical distance, and every subsequent measurement at that objective traces back to a real reference rather than an assumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecalibration is required any time you change objectives, swap cameras, or change the C-mount adapter — each of those alters the pixels-per-micron ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 1 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivisions: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 0.01 mm (10 µm) per division\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Standard microscope slide footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: MSS-STGE-MCMR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits any standard microscope stage. Works with compound, stereo, and inverted microscopes, and is used to calibrate USB and C-mount digital microscope cameras as well as to verify eyepiece reticle scales. The 10 µm division suits compound objectives from 4× through 100×, and is fine enough to calibrate measurement of particles in the 50–500 µm range with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: this is a precision plastic slide manufactured to consistent tolerances.
