Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Dear confocalists,

 Is there a stage micrometer that works in both transmission and reflection mode- for measuring true magnification? I have diatom slide from Mr. Klaus Kemp with 8 diatoms that allow evaluation of resolution. Are some features on diatom frustule known to have certain distance between them? Following diatoms are mounted on the slide.

• Amphipleura pellucida
• Frustulia rhomboides
• Pleurosigma angulatum
• Surirella gemma
• Nitzschia sigma
• Stauroneis phoenicentron
• Navicula lyra
• Gyrosigma balticum

Best,
Shalin
