Stage Micrometer & Reticle Recalibration
Specialist recalibration support for stage micrometers, eyepiece reticles, graticules and optical measurement standards used in microscopy, inspection and dimensional measurement.
Maintain Confidence in Your Measurement Standards
Stage micrometers, reticles and graticules are commonly used as reference standards when calibrating microscope measurement systems and carrying out dimensional inspection.
Where these standards form part of a documented quality or measurement process, periodic recalibration can help maintain confidence in their dimensional accuracy and traceability.
Auckland Scientific can arrange suitable recalibration routes and help you select the appropriate level of calibration for your application.

Not Sure Which Calibration You Need?
Send us details of your stage micrometer, reticle or measurement standard together with any existing certificate or quality requirements. We can help identify the most appropriate calibration option.
Why Recalibration Matters
A reference standard is used to establish or verify measurement accuracy. If that standard is used as part of a quality-control, inspection or research process, its own calibration needs to remain reliable.
Periodic recalibration can help demonstrate that the dimensional values assigned to the standard remain valid and that measurement traceability is maintained.
How Often Should a Stage Micrometer Be Recalibrated?
The appropriate interval depends on how frequently the standard is used, its handling and storage, previous calibration results and the requirements of your own quality system. We can help you determine a suitable approach for your application.
Recalibration Process
1. Identify Your Standard
Provide the manufacturer, part number, scale specification and any existing calibration details.
