Note:
● Measurement Accuracy Description:
L: Measured length
The above-mentioned accuracy has been verified using standard gauge blocks or a standard line‑scale as the measurement reference.
In practical applications, the focusing accuracy along the Z-axis largely depends on the surface roughness and reflectivity of the workpiece.
● Magnification Ratio Explanation:
The magnification shown is for reference only. The actual viewing experience may vary depending on the final display size and resolution you choose.
To meet specific measurement requirements, customers may optionally select an auxiliary objective or an APO accessory lens.
