To find the average stoma diameter using an eyepiece graticule, measure each stoma, calibrate the graticule with a stage micrometer, and calculate the mean from numerous measurements.
To determine the mean diameter of stomata using an eyepiece graticule, measure each stoma, calibrate the graticule against a stage micrometer, and take multiple measurements to calculate a mean.
