Does a triple beam balance measure grams of milligrams?

Triple beam balances usually read in .1 gram increments. That's equivalent to 100 milligrams. That doesn't mean that the instrument is actually ACCURATE or CALIBRATED to within .1 grams-- only that the instrument's readability is .1 grams. A poor quality or poorly maintained instrument might not read accurately to the true value of the weighed object's mass. It's possible to buy more precise triple beam balances capable of reading in milligrams (.001g) but they are expensive and more difficult to properly maintain. For this reason, most modern high precision balances are digital.
