Microscope Considerations: Ocular Micrometer

• The ocular micrometer is located in which part of the microscope?

  = Eyepiece
• The ocular micrometer is used for measuring the diagnostic stages of parasites in:

  = Microns (µm)
• Calibration of the ocular micrometer is necessary to ensure:

  = Accurate measurement of parasites
• The calibration of the ocular micrometer is typically performed:

  = Annually
• What instrument is used to calibrate the ocular micrometer?

  =  Stage micrometer
• The stage micrometer is divided into units of:

  = Millimeters (mm)
• Calibration of the ocular micrometer involves aligning the eyepiece and stage scales on the microscope and determining the values of lines using:

  = Calculation
• How many units are typically present in an ocular micrometer line?

  = 50
• The calibration of the ocular micrometer and microscope objectives should be performed:

  = As a unit calibration
• The calibration of the ocular micrometer and microscope objectives ensures accurate measurement of parasites and is essential for:

  = Quality control in the laboratory
