Ocular micrometers are placed in the eyepiece of a microscope and have markings that are viewed alongside the specimen to measure its size. Stage micrometers are placed on the stage of a microscope and have known, predefined distances between markings used as a reference for calibrating the ocular micrometer. The graduations on an ocular micrometer may appear larger or smaller than those on a stage micrometer due to differences in magnification between the two.
It is necessary to superimpose the two scales and determine how many of the graduations coincide with one graduation on the scale of the stage micrometer.
A stage micrometer is used in microscopy to calibrate the eyepiece reticle or camera system. It provides a known distance for calibration, allowing accurate measurement of objects viewed under the microscope.
Ocular micrometers are see-through disks with a ruler in them that go in the eypiece of a microscope to measure what you are seeing. Stage micrometers are put on the stage/view platform of the microscope, so instead of putting them in the eyepiece you are putting them right next to the object you are looking at in the microscope.
Stage micrometer is a glass slide with a scale of known divisions used to calibrate the eyepiece micrometer. Ocular micrometer is a specialized eyepiece with a built-in scale used to measure the size of objects viewed under a microscope. They both help determine the magnification and size of objects but are used at different stages in the setup process.
To analyze oil droplet size using a stage micrometer, first calibrate the microscope by measuring the stage micrometer's known scale. Then, focus on the oil droplets and use the calibrated scale to measure their diameters by comparing it with the micrometer scale. Record these measurements for analysis and statistical processing to determine the average size of the oil droplets.
To calibrate the objective lens on a light microscope, use a stage micrometer slide with a known scale (e.g. 0.01 mm). Focus on the markings of the stage micrometer slide and measure the distance they cover in the field of view. Use this measurement to calculate the calibration factor for that specific objective lens.

The wavelength (denoted by Greek letter Lambda) is the minimum distance between any two corresponding points on a wave that are in the same stage of the cycle. This distance is usually measured from peak to peak (crest to crest or trough to trough). Wavelength is a distance and is usually measured in meters.

The least count of a microscope is the smallest distance that can be measured accurately. It is typically determined by the precision of the microscope's objective lens and the calibration of its stage micrometer, usually ranging from 0.01 mm to 0.001 mm.
