What is A Simple Technique to Measure the Movements of the Microscope Stage Along the X and Y Axes for Stereological Methods about?

Measurements of microscope stage movements in the __x__ and __y__ directions are of importance for some stereological methods such as the optical disector and optical fractionator. The length of stage movements can be measured with great precision and accuracy using a suitable motorized stage, which is generally a computer‐assisted instrument. This type of equipment is generally too expensive for and not readily available in many laboratories. This paper describes a simple method to measure the movements of the microscope stage along the __x__ and __y__ directions, which can be used for purposes such as systematic uniform random sampling. It needs a microscope attachment consisting of two dial indicators; one of them is used to measure the amount of stage movement along the __x__‐axis and the other measures the amount of movement along the __y__‐axis. Movements of the stage on the micrometre‐scale can be measured easily using this device.
