Levenhuk 1 calibration slide for stereomicroscopes - LEVENHUK

This is the Levenhuk Calibration Slide 1. It is designed for use on stereomicroscopes. It is made of optical glass and has a diameter of 24 mm. The scale division value on it is 0.1 mm. In total, the scale contains 200 divisions.

A calibration slide, or, as it is also called, a micrometer slide, is needed to calculate a correction factor for the image analysis program and, consequently, increase the precision of all measurements taken.

How to use the calibration slide:

1. Secure the slide on the microscope stage.
2. Rotate the nosepiece to select the working target.
3. Set the camera in shooting mode at maximum resolution and then take a photo of the scale.
4. In the image analysis program, select the calibration mode, use the mouse to indicate the maximum visible distance, and then enter the resulting value in real units.
5. Enter the name of the calibration and double-check the values.
6. If everything is done correctly, the program will remember the correction factor and, in the future, independently convert the values to the required units of measurement.
