| filar micrometre ocular | <microscopy> A micrometre ocular with crossed lines which can be simultaneously focused in and moved across the field by means of a micrometre screw. The amount of displacement can be read in 0.01 steps on the micrometre drum head. This makes a very delicate measuring device, since calibration of the micrometre scale by means of a stage micrometre gives values for each interval on the drum head which are much less than the resolving power of the highest-aperture objectives.

| fixation, ocular | The direction of the gaze so that the visual image of the object falls on the fovea centralis of the retina, the area of the most acute vision. (12 Dec 1998) |
