Where can I find a good stage micrometer?




This is the cheapest one I've seen online, but I own one from another site: http://wardsci.com/product.asp?pn=IG0011880&cm_mmc=Mercent-_-Google-_-NULL-_-949910&mr:trackingCode=C078975B-6581-DE11-8C0A-000423C27502&mr:referralID=NA




is that one sutiable for viewing spores though because it has something to do with calibration as well. and it would jus go on top of the slide??

It is used only once. Its purpose is to tell how many microns are in each reticle division.

Once this is known you can write it down, allowing you to use the reticle (in the 10x eyepiece) to measure spores.

I forgive typos.

I also will tell you if it goes on top of a slide. No it doesn't. It is a slide actually. (See the photo of mine)

After you buy the equipment someone can give you the instructions if you need them.

Later today and again tomorrow, I'll ask that you review this document:  http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=15780737&page=0&vc=1#15780737

You will be interested to read the first few paragraphs.

A reticle is a little plastic disc that goes into an eyepiece which has markings.  You'll see a grid or measurement bar when you look through the eyepiece.  Usually people order an eyepiece with the reticle already installed, though you can just get the plastic disc and install it into an existing eyepiece.
