Ocular micrometers are see-through disks with a ruler in them that go in the eypiece of a microscope to measure what you are seeing. Stage micrometers are put on the stage/view platform of the microscope, so instead of putting them in the eyepiece you are putting them right next to the object you are looking at in the microscope.
The ocular micrometer is inside the ocular lens, it will not change size when the objectives are changed. Therefore, each objective lens must be calibrated separately. Ocular micrometers have no units on them - they are like a ruler with marks but no numbers. In order to use one to measure something under a microscope, you must assign numbers to the marks. This is done by looking through your OCULAR micrometer at a STAGE micrometer mounted on a slide. The stage micrometer is just a ruler with fixed known distances, so you can use it to tell how far apart marks are on the ocular micrometer. This has to be done because the marks on the ocular micrometer are different distances apart depending on the magnification used on the microscope. It must be calibrated for each objective.
a glass disk that fits in a microscope eyepiece and that has a ruled scale; when calibrated with a slide micrometer, direct measurements of a microscopic object can be made.
A meter is larger than a micrometer.
A micrometer caliper is a measuring device for finding very exact measurements of an item. The least count of a micrometer caliper in millimeter is 0.02.

a tiny ruler that you know the measurements of, and you use it to calibrate the ocular lens of a microscope
It is necessary to superimpose the two scales and determine how many of the graduations coincide with one graduation on the scale of the stage micrometer.
Two divisions of the stage micrometer is equal to 20 micrometers. 20 micrometers/13 = 1.54micrometers You multiply this by 16 to find the diameter of the cell. 1.54 x 16 = 24.62 micrometers
1 ocular micrometer scale is equal to 1micrometer when it is seen from 10X objective it will be magnify by 100 times so, 1 ocular micrometer division become 0.1mm ( 1um * 100 = 0.1mm)
Yes, a calibrated ocular micrometer can be used to measure the diameter or length of a field or object. Essentially, that is all that it is used for.

it is because the objectives have different values of magnification.....

It is a micrometer, also called micron. It is 1 millionth of a meter. I hyphenated micrometer to differentiate the unit of measure from the measuring instrument.
