>ANyone want to answer the original post? Hi Peter, I wondered how long you'd stay on the list with all the unwanted(?) and unwarranted advice about paper size economics etc! I've put markings on a microscope slide cover slip (clear glass, 0.17mm thick, 19mm diam.). I used a diamond tipped marker (designed for the postcode marking of valuables), and using very light pressure against a straight edge I got my lines. I pressed too hard on the first sample, and it cracked, but no. 2 is OK and is in use. Your focus screen is plastic so you should be able to use a sharp steel point instead of a diamond. Biggest problem is getting the lines straight so that when seen in your viewfinder, they still look reasonable. (My usage was adding a reticle to a telescope eyepiece - and getting it gently illuminated with a dim LED is still proving a problem.) How will you know that you've put the focus screen back in the correct register ? I'm thinking about your scribed lines raising the plastic ever so slightly around the lines, and disturbing the register. Does the screen have metal edges?
