The part shown above is being sold as part of a package with a Pentax ME Super camera. Can someone identify what it is and what it would be used for?

Forgive me if this is an obvious question, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to this old equipment. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

EDIT: okay, what am I doing wrong here? The image shows up when I preview the post, but not once I submit it.


Photos don't show on your very first post (anti spam) If you post a reply to me your photo will magically appear in the first post above.

It's called a linen tester and was originally designed to count the number of threads per inch or cm in a sample of cloth--but of course it is useful for looking at many other things at magnification.
