Tool Makers Microscopes .com is your source for measuring microscopes. Our toolmaker's microscopes are able to view and measure hole diameters, linear distances, thread
angles, thread pitch, tool edges, tool wear surfaces, and more! Toolmaker's microscope instruments get their name from their main application of measuring and viewing tool edges and wear surfaces in the tooling industry. However, these microscopes are great for doing general micro measurements. Their x-y stage micrometers allow precise measurement of distances and circles. The crosshair reticle in the eyepiece gives a precise point of reference as the microscope's stage is moved and the stage micrometers are used' to provide a readout of distance traveled.
Precise measurement of lengths, diameters, and distances is important for many applications in industry. Common tools and equipment are measuring microscopes and vernier' calipers. The two major measurement standards are the English system and metric system. Metrology (derived from greek 'metron' (measure), and -logy) is the science of measurement. A manual or digital vernier caliper is able to give basic measurements. The English measuring system unit of precise measurement is in mils (1/1000th of an inch) while the metric unit of measurement is in microns (1 millionth of a meter). The least count measurement (smallest incremental divisible resolution) of our micrometer heads
on our toolmaker's microscopes is 0.01mm, which is 10 microns. To put that in perspective, a red blood cell is 7 microns diameter. A human hair is about 40 to 120 microns thickness. And one English mil is about 0.025mm (25 microns). We sell stage micrometers of various sizes for calibration of magnification and reference measurement. Our most common stage micrometer is 1mm subdivided into 100 divisions of 0.01mm resolution. Whatever your microscopy needs are, please contact us. Allow our skilled technicians
to make an educated recommendation to meet your application. Often, we can recommend different microscopes that may better meet a customer's needs. For example, a metallurgical microscope also can be fitted for measuring capability and even digital stage micrometers. In addition, some customers may need an optical comparator or profile projector. As a professional microscope dealership, our goal is to provide the right equipment at an affordable price.
Purchase of our microscopes entitles you to training and quality technical support as needed. Toolmakers Microscopes .com is owned and supervised by a Licensed Professional Engineer (Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering, University of Missouri - Columbia,1990).
Please call us today to discuss your microscope application and equipment needs. Our skilled microscope technicians are always happy to help.
