Micrometric Slide Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Micrometric Slide (Product Code: SLE/PS/02) is a glass stage graticule slide used to calibrate a microscope’s eyepiece scale in biology and microscopy teaching laboratories. Its 1 mm scale, divided into 0.01 mm steps, lets students convert eyepiece divisions into real distances before they measure or count cells. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a companion to the micrometer eyepiece.

What Is a Micrometric Slide Used For?

The scale inside a micrometer eyepiece has no fixed real value: what one division covers changes with every objective. To find it, place the Micrometric Slide on the stage, focus on its scale, and rotate the eyepiece until both scales lie side by side. Note how many eyepiece divisions match a known number of 0.01 mm steps on the slide, then divide to get the value of one eyepiece division for that objective.

Repeat the procedure for each objective and keep the values in a table beside the microscope. Students can then measure cells, pollen grains or other specimens directly and apply the calibration in cell counting work. Handle the slide by its edges, clean it gently with lens tissue, and keep it in a slide box so the scale stays free of dust and scratches.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of slides, usually matched to the number of microscopes or student groups doing calibration.
• Whether you also need a micrometer eyepiece, since the slide is used together with one.
• That your microscopes use transmitted light, the type this slide is intended for.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, supplies the Micrometric Slide to schools, colleges, universities, training laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It can be ordered with microscopes, eyepieces and prepared slides so a microscopy room is equipped from a single source. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Micrometric Slide?
A Micrometric Slide, also called a stage graticule slide, is a glass slide carrying a 1 mm scale divided into 0.01 mm steps. It sits on the microscope stage as a known reference, so the eyepiece scale of a micrometer eyepiece can be calibrated against it.

What are the scale range and divisions of the Micrometric Slide?
The Micrometric Slide (SLE/PS/02) has a scale range of 1 mm with divisions of 0.01 mm, which is 10 micrometres per division. The glass slide itself measures 26 x 76 mm, so it fits the stage clips of a typical microscope.

Can the Micrometric Slide be used without a micrometer eyepiece?
No, the Micrometric Slide is meant to be used together with a micrometer eyepiece. The slide provides the known scale on the stage and the eyepiece scale is compared against it; without an eyepiece graticule there is nothing to calibrate.

Which microscopes is the Micrometric Slide suitable for?
The Micrometric Slide is suitable for transmitted light microscopes, where light passes up through the glass slide to the objective. Most student and laboratory biological microscopes work this way; please check with us before using it on any other type of instrument.

Does the Micrometric Slide come with a calibration certificate?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Micrometric Slide is not stated in the product details. If your laboratory needs a certificate or traceability documents, raise it through our contact page before ordering and we will tell you what can be provided.

How should the Micrometric Slide be stored?
Store the Micrometric Slide in a slide box or case away from dust, and handle it only by the edges. Clean the surface gently with lens tissue, because scratches or residue on the scale make it harder to line up the two scales accurately.

Who supplies the Micrometric Slide?
The Micrometric Slide (SLE/PS/02) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India. Schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets can order it on its own or together with microscopes and eyepieces.
