The staff is linear scale which must bee held vertically (it includes a spherical level) on the point involved in the height difference to be measured. The precision of its graduation and its maintenance in a vertical position strongly influence the precision of the height difference measured.

A level's reticule is usually made up of four wires:
₪ The upper stadia wire
₪ The lower stadia line
₪ The leveling wire
₪ The vertical thread
