Toolmaker Microscope
Toolmaker Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/35) is an optical measuring microscope used to measure angles, thickness, radius, diameter and similar dimensions of small components in engineering metrology and workshop laboratories. It combines 30x viewing with a 150 x 150 mm X-Y measuring stage read by micrometers to 0.01 mm or 0.005 mm. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its test and measurement instruments in India.

What Is the Toolmaker Microscope Used For?
In a metrology lab, the toolmaker microscope measures features that are too small or too delicate for callipers: the pitch and flank angle of a screw thread, the radius on a form tool, the diameter of a small drilled hole, the thickness of a shim or the profile of a gear tooth. Students align one edge of the feature with the eyepiece reference, note the micrometer reading, move the stage to the opposite edge and take the difference.
Transmitted light from below turns the part into a sharp silhouette, which makes edges easy to pick up at 30x, and the inclined illumination helps with helical features such as threads. For angles, the rotary stage is turned until a line in the field matches the second edge and read to 6 minutes on the vernier. It is a standard item of engineering lab equipment in India for polytechnic, ITI and mechanical engineering courses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can be measured with the Toolmaker Microscope?
The Toolmaker Microscope is designed for measuring angles, thickness, radius, diameter and similar dimensions of small parts. Typical laboratory tasks include checking thread angles, tool radii, hole diameters and component profiles that are difficult to measure with contact instruments.
What magnification and working distance does the Toolmaker Microscope offer?
The Toolmaker Microscope gives 30x magnification from a 2x objective and a 15x eyepiece, with a 12 mm field of view and a working distance of about 100 mm. The microscope tube is inclined at 45° for comfortable viewing.
How fine are the linear readings on the Toolmaker Microscope?
The Toolmaker Microscope's 150 x 150 mm stage travels 50 x 50 mm in X and Y, driven by two 25 mm micrometers. The micrometers are listed with a least count of 0.01 mm or 0.005 mm, so state the version you need when ordering.
How are angles measured on the Toolmaker Microscope?
Angles are measured on the Toolmaker Microscope with its rotary stage, which is graduated from 0 to 360° and fitted with a vernier reading to 6 minutes. The part is rotated until each edge lines up with the reference in the field, and the difference is read off.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Toolmaker Microscope?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Toolmaker Microscope should be discussed with us before you order. Include the requirement in your enquiry through the contact page, and we will confirm what documentation can be supplied with the instrument.
Who supplies the Toolmaker Microscope?
The Toolmaker Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company serves engineering colleges, polytechnics, training institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
