Attach the digital camera a to the camera adapter b so that it
faces to front.
Place the measurement object on the stage so that it is parallel to
the X-axis.
Look into the eyepiece with cross hairs with the right eye and move the
stage so that the left end of the measurement object enters the field
of view. Then, adjust the Y-axis so that the edge of the measurement
object comes to the center of the cross line.
Move the X-axis to the opposite end.
} Since the stage and measurement object are not parallel to each
other to some extent, the observed image shifts from the center
position as shown in the left picture.
Change the angle of the measurement object so that the edge of the
measurement object comes to the center of the cross line.
