Aven identifies the reticle as a 10:100mm scale and describes it as excellent for measurement. This accessory provides a scale reference in the eyepiece view rather than an unmarked viewing field. Each package contains one eyepiece, not a pair or a complete microscope.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the magnification of this eyepiece?
The eyepiece magnification is 10x. This is not a statement of the complete microscope's total magnification.

Aven identifies it as a 10:100mm scale reticle. Additional calibration and accuracy specifications are not provided in the supplied source.
Which microscope bodies is it intended for?
Aven lists SPZ Series bodies. Confirm fit for your exact model before ordering; do not assume compatibility with other microscope families.
Is it supplied as a pair?
No. Each package contains one eyepiece.
Does this include a microscope or stand?
No. This listing is for the eyepiece accessory only.
Can I use the reticle for dimensional measurements?
Aven describes the eyepiece as excellent for measurement. Establish the appropriate calibration for your microscope configuration before interpreting the reticle as specimen dimensions.
How is it different from an eyepiece without a reticle?
This model adds a visible scale reference. A no-reticle eyepiece provides an unmarked viewing field. Select the correct model for both your inspection task and microscope compatibility.
