It is an auxiliary device for making fine adjustment to an instrument, generally by means of a fine screw thread. Used in certain measuring instruments. It is a small moveable scale running next to the main graduated scale which indicates a fractional part of the main scale. An example would be a sextant or barometer

Can you get low least count ther vernierhow and why?

To use the vernier scale, you find the reading on the fixed scale immediately to the left of the pointer, then you look along the sliding scale until you come to the place where the divisions on the fixed and sliding scales match up, and this gives you the subdivision of the main fixed scale divisions. Thus if the fixed scale is divided into mm, you will be able to read 1/10 mm from the vernier. I suggest you look up Wikipedia 'Vernier Scale' which has illustrations of this
