Why Calibrate a Microscope?
A microscope can produce a clear image while still giving inaccurate dimensional measurements if the measurement system has not been correctly calibrated.
Calibration helps establish the relationship between the image or reticle scale and the actual size of the specimen, supporting more reliable and repeatable measurements.
Particularly Important for Quality-Control Applications
Where microscope measurements are used to accept or reject components, monitor processes or support documented quality procedures, calibration provides greater confidence in the measurement result.

Stage Micrometers & Measurement Standards
Stage micrometers and other reference standards are commonly used to calibrate microscope measurement systems.
Auckland Scientific can also provide support with the selection and recalibration of suitable stage micrometers and measurement standards where required.
Existing Stage Micrometer?
If you already use a stage micrometer or measurement standard, contact us with the manufacturer, scale specification and your calibration requirements and we can advise on the appropriate recalibration route.
Who We Support
