glass scale
Explanation:
Calibration is done by capturing a picture with known dimensions on it and then calibrating the software to the dimensions. The system is designed to calibrate pixel measurements to any unit value (microns, millimeters, centimeters, or any other unit value). For compound microscopy a micrometer slide is the common tool used, and for stereo or macro microscopy an accurate glass scale or ruler may be used.

BTW, the correct word in Dutch is spelled 'glaslinIaal'.
