Keyence Optical Measuring device

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!

I don' have too many issues with our machine. I find the more attention I pay to ensuring the depth of field is set to the part edges I need to analyze the better the program runs. This also seems to assist pattern recognition. The manual says it will do a half micron in HD or a full micron in wide. Since most of our stuff is turned and we often have burrs to contend with i doubt its good to that level.
Perhaps to 0.001" for some things though.
rickfngp: I do not know if there has been any type of certification. The rep was here a while back and we asked if it required calibration and he said no.
Thanks!
