Microscopes | Accessories A B HOW TO SIZE A RETICLE
It is an easy operation to insert an eye piece reticle. Please follow the steps below:
• Remove the eyepiece from the microscope and look at the bottom (open) end. There should be a threaded ring or plastic insert that is used to secure the reticle in place. If your eyepiece has a threaded ring then you just need to measure the internal diameter of the eyepiece where that threaded ring is fitted (i.e. across the internal thread of the eyepiece). If the eyepiece has a plastic insert then there should be a small recess (where the reticle sits) in the top of it and you should measure the width of that
• The reticle actually fits at the optical plane in the eyepiece so that its image, and that of the specimen are both in focus. To check that you have located this plane it is easiest just to look through the eyepiece and insert a pencil up the open end until the point is in sharp focus - that is the position on the optical plane where the reticle is fitted. There should be a flange on the inside wall of the eyepiece to butt the reticle up against.
