Mitutoyo 176-135 Microscope Reticle Concentric Circle

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 176-135 is a concentric circle reticle designed for use with Mitutoyo Series 176 Toolmaker's Microscopes. A reticle is an optical insert placed in the eyepiece or image plane of a microscope to provide a reference pattern for measurement and alignment tasks. The concentric circle pattern allows technicians and quality control professionals to precisely center, align, and measure circular features on workpieces. This reticle does not include a magnifying lens and is sold as a single unit replacement or spare component.

This reticle is intended for precision measurement environments such as tool and die shops, metrology labs, and quality inspection stations. It fits within the Mitutoyo Series 176 Toolmaker's Microscope system, which is commonly used for measuring small parts, scribing layouts, and inspecting machined features. Installation and use are suited to metrology technicians, machinists, and quality engineers working with optical measurement equipment.
