Micrometric Slide
Product Code : LSK-BL-10210
Micrometric Slide (SKU LSK-BL-10210), also known as a stage graticule slide or stage micrometer, is a 26 x 76 mm glass slide carrying a 1 mm scale divided into 0.01 mm steps. Used together with an eyepiece micrometer, it lets a transmitted light microscope be calibrated by hand so that cells can be counted and measured. It serves microscopy practicals in B.Sc. biology, microbiology and allied health courses. As part of its biology lab equipment in India, Science Lab Supplies can send it from Ambala to colleges, schools, training institutes, distributors and tender buyers.
Specifications
The Micrometric Slide is a standard-format 26 x 76 mm glass slide with a calibration scale 1 mm long. In short, the scale is ruled in 0.01 mm divisions, giving 100 known steps against which the divisions of an eyepiece micrometer can be matched on any objective of a transmitted light microscope.

Applications and Experiments for the Micrometric Slide
The slide turns an eyepiece scale into real units: once each objective is calibrated against its 0.01 mm divisions, students can measure and count cells directly. Micrometry of this kind is a standard practical in B.Sc. botany, zoology and microbiology, and in laboratory technician training.
- Calibrating the 4X, 10X and 40X objectives of a Student Biological Microscopes unit before a measurement practical.
- B.Sc. microbiology: estimating the size of cocci and bacilli on the Bacteria slide Set of 12 once the oil immersion objective has been calibrated.
- B.Sc. botany: measuring cell and nucleus size in the Mitosis, Onion Root Tip Cell, Cross Section slide.
- Repeating the calibration whenever an eyepiece or objective is changed.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Micrometric Slide is supplied as a single 26 x 76 mm glass slide with its 1 mm scale in 0.01 mm divisions. The eyepiece micrometer and the microscope are not included; the matching eyepiece and a range of microscopes can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be raised for one calibration slide or for one per microscope in a practical laboratory. Science Lab Supplies lists the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and eyepiece micrometers, microscopes or prepared slides can appear on the same quotation.
As the holder of an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Use the contact page to ask for a price, collect several microscopy items in the enquiry cart, or consult the lab tender page if a tender applies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a microscope calibrated with this slide?
Place the slide on the stage and line up its 0.01 mm divisions with the scale of an eyepiece micrometer. Count how many eyepiece divisions match a known length on the slide, then work out the length of one eyepiece division for that objective.
What is the difference between a stage micrometer and an eyepiece micrometer?
The stage micrometer, this slide, carries a true 1 mm scale on the stage. The eyepiece micrometer sits in the eyepiece, and its divisions only give real specimen sizes after they are calibrated against the slide for each objective.
Will it work on any microscope?
It suits transmitted light microscopes, where light passes up through the slide. Its 26 x 76 mm size matches the common slide format used on microscope stages.
Who supplies the Micrometric Slide?
Science Lab Supplies arranges supply of the slide from Ambala, India. It prepares quotations for colleges, schools, training institutes, distributors and tender buyers, and can group the slide with eyepieces and microscopes.
