Dear Subrata,

 

It needs to do spatial calibration if you want to measure the actual unit. There is function called "set scale". First you should observe a standard scale with known distance under microscope. Then measure the pixel number of a line with known distance. Using "set scale" function, input actual length, unit, choose "global" option. 

 

There is also a plug in that you can download. It is called "microscope scale". So you don't need to calibrate everytime when you start the program.
