For instance, a toolmakers microscope can be used for the purposes of viewing and
measuring thread pitch and thread angles among others.
The level of magnification with this particular device is largely dependent on the objective
being uses. However, it is often supplied with facilities to provide a magnification range
of between 10x and 100x. Whereas low magnification allows for most part of the object
under observation to be viewed, high magnification provides a clear image (with
adjustments of light) for good measurements.
A toolmakers microscope has a robust base that allows it to hold a wide range of objects
for observations and measurements.
In addition, the device finds use for measuring center to center distance of holes in a
plane, linear measurements as well as accurate angular measurements.
Applications of Toolmakers Microscope
Here, the microscope is used elative positions of different points by simply measuring the
travel that is necessary for bringing a second point to the position that was formerly
occupied by the first and so forth.
Measuring angles
Using this microscope, it is possible to measure the angles by using the protractor
eyepiece. This allows for the angles of the object to be viewed and determined.
Comparison measurement
This is where the microscope is used to do comparison of the thread forms, measuring of
the pitch and diameter. Here, the microscope achieves this using the master profiles
engravings in the eyepiece.

Procedure
The toolmakers microscope is an important device given that it allows for manufacturers
and other technicians to observe and measure the small parts of various tools and
electronics among others. It has a number of advantages that makes it suitable for such
tasks. These include;
Optical flats are usually disc shaped with parallel, or nearly parallel, surfaces, one of
which is given an optical finish. Materials used for optical flats need to have a very small
coefficient of thermal expansion.
Working Principle
Interference is the principle behind the working of optical flats. An optical flat is placed
on a surface, in order to measure its flatness, before a monochromatic light is made to
pass through the area of contact.
In cases where the test surface is perfectly flat, there will be no gap between the two
surfaces. In cases where the test surface is not flat, interference fringes will be formed,
and will be visible in the form of dark and light bands.
Construction
Most optical flats are made out of quartz. Some are made out of glass. Optical flats
made of quarts are often coated on one side, to give higher reflectivity. Optical flats are
in the shape of discs, having parallel surfaces.
Applications
The main applications of optical flats are listed below:
