To add a sample point:
1) ensure Rulers are visible : menu View > Show Rulers
2) hit Ctrl key and click on a ruler (horizontal or vertical) and drag your mouse cursor on the canvas

You will see a cross centered on the mouse cursor ; release the click to add the new sample at the cursor position.

Thank you tmanni. I will see if that work for me.

"Ctrl + Left Click in the ruler area of your main window (shown in green above), and drag out into your image. There should be crosshairs across your entire image screen showing you where you are dragging.

When you release the mouse button, you’ve dropped a Sample Point onto your image. You can see it in my image above as a small crosshair with the number 1 next to it."

I tested, but that don't work. 
See my 3 screenshots. When I place the guides (vertical / horizontal lines) on the image, I get blue dashed guides.
By placing the mouse pointer on the intersection of the two axes, the dotted lines turn blue. When I'm in Move Tool mode, by clicking and holding the click, I move the axes together from place to place. In this case, the axes are solid, white lines. But still no numbered reticle ...
(My captures do not show my mouse pointer)
