graticule
Scope's reference lines
A graticule is a grid of lines on a map or chart representing parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude.
The term also refers to a network of fine lines or crosshairs in the eyepiece of an optical instrument like a telescope or microscope, used to locate or measure objects in the field of view: The graticule helped her center the specimen.
