ABSTRACT:
A microscope calibrator includes a housing supporting a series of focusing targets each situated at a predetermined distance from one another. Attributes of the microscope are determined by focusing the microscope on one ore more of the focusing targetrs and determining a location of the microscope with respect to the focusing targets focused upon. The position of the focusing targets are determinable by virtue of a local reference frame target attached to the microscope calibrator or by using a tracked probe to communicate the location of each point focused upon by the microscope on each of the focusing targets.
