Field of View Accuracy (E₂ )	Low Mag: 0.0004” Med Mag: 0.0003” High Mag: 0.0002”
Stage Accuracy (E₂ )	(500+10L) µinch

Accuracy is evaluated with a QVI® compensation and verification procedure where “L” is measured length in inches. Specifications apply within the rated environment. XY Accuracy applies with an evenly distributed load up to 11 lb in the standard measuring plane. The standard measuring plane is defined as perpendicular to the optical axis within 0.02 inch, and within 0.20 inch of best focus. Depending on load distribution, accuracy at maximum payload may be less than standard.
