Mitutoyo 176-126 Microscope Reticle Broken Cross Hair 90

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 176-126 is a microscope reticle featuring a broken cross hair pattern at 90 degrees, designed for use with precision optical measurement equipment. Reticles serve as reference targets in the eyepiece or stage of a toolmaker's microscope, providing a defined measurement datum for inspecting part geometry, edge locations, scribe lines, and fine surface features. This reticle does not include a magnifying lens. It is installed by metrology technicians and quality control professionals who require repeatable visual reference points during precision inspection work.

This reticle is intended for use with Mitutoyo Series 176 Toolmaker's Microscopes. Toolmaker's microscopes are used across manufacturing, inspection, and metrology environments for non-contact measurement of small parts, tooling, and fine detail features. The broken cross hair pattern at 90 degrees is a common reticle configuration used to align and measure part edges and geometric features with minimal visual obstruction at the center intersection point.

Installation Notes

Reticle installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified metrology technician or calibrated instrument technician familiar with optical measurement equipment. Before handling, power down or disconnect any illumination source associated with the microscope and handle the reticle only by its edges to avoid contaminating the optical surface. Consult the Series 176 instrument manual for proper seating orientation and retention procedures specific to this unit.
