A "graticule" is a grid system, usually involving a system of vertical and horizontal lines or overlays. Among the uses for such a grid are : # The global coordinate system, which uses latitude and longitude to define geographic points. # Microscope slides, with measured marks to define the sample size # Reticles, or aiming devices, which allow adjustment for measurement or for targeting.
