A micrometer sometimes known as amicrometer screw gauge, is a device incorporating a calibrated screw used widely for precise measurement of small distances in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, anddigital calipers. Micrometers are often, but not always, in the form of calipers

What is ocular micrometer?
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.
What is the 'zero error' in vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge?
The zero error in the vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge when the O mark on the main scale is not in line with the pointer.
What is a conclusion about micrometer and vernier caliper?
In case for micrometer, principle of pitch is used. Least count could be even micro meter But in vernier caliper, difference of main scale division and vernier scale division is the principle Least count could be 0.02 mm
How do you read micrometers?
Difficult to explain without diagrams, but the micrometer relies on an accurate screw which advances the caliper a precise amount with each revolution. So you turn the screw until the object is lightly held, then read the axial scale and add on for the number of screw turns above the nearest scale reading. The most accurate type also have a vernier scale for very small distances. I suggest you look at Wikipedia 'Micrometer' which has a thorough explanation with diagrams.
What is bigger a meter or a micrometer?
A meter is larger than a micrometer.
What is vernier scales?
It is the scale on a micrometer.
How you calcuate micrometer least count?
least count of a micrometer= pitch/no of division on the circular scale
What is the smallest graduation on a inch micrometer with a vernier scale?
.001
What are the different type of measurement?
Micrometer,caliper,weihging scale
What is ocular micrometer?
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.
What is Least count of vernier calliper and micrometer gauge?
LC FOR VERNIER CALIPER-0.1mm LC FOR MICROMETER -0.01 mm L.C- NO OF SMALLEST DIVISION ON MAIN SCALE ------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL NO OF DIVISION ON VERNIER SCALE
Why the calibration of ocular micrometer is used for each objective lens?
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.
What is the 'zero error' in vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge?
The zero error in the vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge when the O mark on the main scale is not in line with the pointer.
Measurement scale at one millionth of a meter?
A millionth of a meter is called a micrometer, often abbreviated as "micron".A millionth of a meter is called a micrometer, often abbreviated as "micron".A millionth of a meter is called a micrometer, often abbreviated as "micron".A millionth of a meter is called a micrometer, often abbreviated as "micron".

What does 1 ocular micrometer division equal on a 10x objective?
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)
How will you measure the thickness of a single page of your book using a scaleexplain?
The thickness of a page is measured with a micrometer. If you don't have a micrometer measure the thickness of 1oo pages with the help of a scale and divide the result by 100.
