Keyence Optical Measuring device

RadconRanger
We have one of these. An IM-6120 I think. I really like the convenience and simplicity of making measurement programs on the device.
My question is this, if anyone can help me:
The manual claims accuracy down to 1 micron in wide field and 1/2 micron in high-def.
Is this, well, accurate?
The intra webs have few resources where I can actually go and see what real-world accuracy is. The company website is not a credible source for anything other than a sales pitch (IMO).
Thanks!

  • Has your Keyence been calibrated to certify accuracy? We have a Keyence VHX-1000 microscope that will make measurements but it’s never been calibrated for that. Some people still use it for measuring. Sometimes a fixture is placed on the stage so a part can be tilted to see the area of interest. The digital camera can also be rotated ±45° to better view the part. These angles are “eyeball” accuracy and are used for alignments to measure dimensions to a micron.

    I just use it to photograph magnified areas of parts.
