This is graduated in micrometers "microns", so each mark = 5 micrometers.
A Zeiss Standard, isn't it?. Not the higher precision stage movement, but if it works well (both smoth and firm) about 2 micrometer precision can be obtained.

Of course!, with my Zeiss Standard I even did some stacks with a 100/1.32 objective. For lower magnifications it's fully adequate
