Compatible Size List for Eyepieces and Ocular Micrometers

Check the eyepiece model first, then select the correct ocular micrometer diameter.

Ocular micrometer compatibility depends on the microscope manufacturer, the eyepiece model and the internal retaining structure. The field number printed on an eyepiece,
such as 10x/22, is not the micrometer diameter.

Please note that the compatibility list below is based on information currently available to us.
It may not reflect the latest microscope models, eyepiece updates or specification changes. Please use this list as a reference only, and confirm the exact eyepiece model, retaining structure and required micrometer size before making a final selection.

How to Check the Compatible Size

In most cases, the compatible ocular micrometer size is not printed directly on the eyepiece. Please identify the manufacturer and the exact eyepiece model name or part number.

How to find the eyepiece model number for ocular micrometer size selection
  • Remove or lift the eyecup if the model number is hidden under it.
  • The field number, such as 22 in 10x/22, indicates field of view, not glass diameter.
  • Some eyepieces require a retaining ring, holder or manufacturer service.
  • For uncertain models, please send a clear photo of the eyepiece marking and retaining structure.

Zeiss and Leica Eyepiece Compatibility

For Carl Zeiss and Leica microscope eyepieces, compatibility information for ocular micrometers, installation parts and installation methods is often not publicly disclosed.
In many cases, Zeiss and Leica may provide details only for direct end-user inquiries.

Please contact Carl Zeiss and Leica Microscopy directly and confirm whether your eyepiece accepts a micrometer, which diameter is required, and whether any holder or service procedure is necessary.

Before Ordering

  • Send the microscope manufacturer and eyepiece model number.
  • Include a photo if the eyepiece marking or retaining ring is unclear.
  • Confirm whether your application requires calibration with a stage micrometer.
