Abstract

This paper presents an image processing method to optimize the calibration of Lext Olympus optical microscopes with templates. The proposed algorithm already works on the scales of Nikon autocollimators, which are similar to those present in the calibration templates of these microscopes. The algorithm was adapted to measure these templates and thus optimize the calibration.
