Talk:Ocular micrometer
 | This article has not yet been rated on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. |
Don't delete the page. The thing exists and is popular enough.
[edit]Ocular micrometer is used in biology laboratories, to measure the actual size of the things observed under microscope. It is also used to determine the magnification of camera-lucida sketches and photographs.
However an ocular micrometer can not be considered for calculations until and unless it is standardized with a "stage-micrometer" (No wikipedia articles found) for a particular microscope and a particular set of lenses.

- @RIT RAJARSHI: I don't see where someone has called for this page to be deleted at this time. It does have a maintenance tag indicating that the article is not sourced and it has been there since 2009. If you are aware of independent reliable sources indicating how this device is notable, please offer them. Something existing and being popular does not merit that thing an article on Wikipedia; it must be notable. If there are no sources available, the future of this page will need to be discussed. 331dot (talk) 11:31, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
@331dot: Thank you for your response. I did not meant someone told they will delete the page. Just there is some chance of deletion, so I expressed my opinion about this article. However currently I don't have any authoritative reference about stage and ocular micrometer except a few practical-books. I'll add reference to them when I'll get time; and if I could obtain better source, I'll add. Regards. RIT RAJARSHI (talk) 11:41, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
