I will not mention that it only took me 30 seconds to find it! :]

TIP: Use the “images” function of Google search to visually find what you are looking for. I started with “halftone screen tester” and it was then just a case of following the image to the hosting page.

I use a Beta-Viewer, 100x, with reticule....measure it and do the math.
Didn't have a screen analyzer in this shop. Was surprised how easy measuring it was.
