Optical Comparator or microscope?

Very creative, there, Dave, and yes, I would like to be able to also "hold" the part so that it can be moved around as I have a bit of a "shaking" issue.

Maybe I should try something like that, and set up a slide staging system with possibly some micrometer heads to move everything around.

Thanks again, all!

Thanks so much, Richard, I will definitely keep an eye on that site!

Like Dave, I have a stereo microscope - mine was rather expensive in comparison tho, £5 at a carboot! I made up a x-y stage with threaded rod, 'clicky' knobs to let me count the thou" as I move it to measure. Works ok, but a bit fiddly! I suspect a graticle could be added at the focal plane in the optics, BUT would need to be calibrated for the different magnifications?
