I have seen a picture somewhere from a mechanical comparator that is used as a very accurate instrument for focus indication.
It's a rond scale with a needle 1/1000 mm indication as you can always find back with the indication.
So my question, where can I order something?
Focus indication with round scale.

Maurits,
since you live in Belgium try conrad.be (https://www.conrad.be/zoeken?search=mee ... pe=regular)
cheapest is around €23 (ex-vat) You will need to make some parts to attach it to the focuser. I made something with a 3D printer. Works perfect for my SHG.
Groetjes,
Paul

Re: Focus indication with round scale.
I’ve been wondering about this type of set-up. I assume it would be to achieve precise repeatability with focus from session to session. Does precise focal distance not chance somewhat with weather and mechanical instability?
