About Mitutoyo Comparators & Magnifiers
Precision measurement often comes down to being able to see fine details clearly and compare them accurately. Mitutoyo, with its decades-long reputation in precision measurement tools, has developed a range of optical comparators and magnifiers that bring laboratory-grade accuracy to inspection tasks.
The Mitutoyo Series 183 interchangeable reticle magnifiers represent the core of Mitutoyo's optical measurement solutions. These compact instruments combine high-quality optics with practical functionality, allowing for detailed inspection of small dimensions, angles, radii, and screw-thread forms. The key innovation lies in their interchangeable reticle system, which enables different measurement patterns to be used with the same base unit.
Key specifications define the capabilities of these optical tools, for example:
- Magnification options of 8X or 10X for different detail requirements
- Field of view ranging from 24mm to 32mm, depending on the model
- Reticle size standardized at 30mm diameter reticles
- Compact dimensions for practical handling (approximately 42.5mm x 45.5mm for 10X model)
Notable features within the range include:
- Crystal-clear optics for distortion-free viewing
- Precision-engineered housing for durability
- Optional illuminator availability for enhanced visibility
- Quick-change reticle system for measurement flexibility
Mitutoyo Comparators excel in several application areas: quality control inspection, engineering workshops, toolmaking and machining, research and development, and educational settings.
For enhanced functionality, certain models can be equipped with the Mitutoyo 950757 Illuminator, improving visibility in low-light conditions or when examining highly detailed features. The illuminator integrates seamlessly with the comparator body, maintaining the tool's ergonomic handling characteristics.
