NIST Certified Stage Micrometers
Dec 12th 2025
What is a Stage Micrometer?
A stage micrometer is a very precise ruler designed for microscopes. It is a slide made of either glass or metal to allow light to shine through it or shine down on top of it. The stage micrometer sits on the microscope stage and has very accurate measurements etched onto the slide. The stage micrometer shown at right is the MWSM2 stage micrometer that has both a 1" and

Calibrating a Stereo Microscope for Precision Measurement: Methods, Standards, and Error Sources
Dec 11th 2025
Stereo microscopes are widely used in industrial inspection, research laboratories, semiconductor work, micro-assembly, medical device manufacturing, and quality assurance. Although they’re essential for dimensional inspection and documentation, stereo microscopes are not inherently calibrated for accurate measurement.
If your lab relies on dimensional data for QA/QC, regulatory compliance,
