Calipers are a measuring device to measure length accurately. It is basically a ruler where you can put the thing you are measuring on the ruler and slide a contact to touch the end and read the ruler.
A vernier, which works on calipers or many other measuring devices, is a way to divide up the readings into even smaller increments so you can measure even more accurately. For example, instead of finding the object is 43mm long, you can read it is 43.3mm long.

The "Vernier" part is a subsidiary scale engraved to one increment longer than the equivalent value on the main scale for the same number of steps, providing a magnifying effect that allows reading the length to 1/1000" or 0.01mm. Often now replaced by a digital equivalent, sometimes referred to as "verniers" colloquially but quite wrongly.
Because the secondary scale, which gave the calipers it accuracy, was designed by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier.
There are several conclusion for Vernier calipers. One is that in comparison to other tools like micrometers, they have less accuracy. Regardless, the Vernier calipers seem to allow a larger measurement range leading to better versatility.
I guess it is found by vernier as it works on vernier theory -Manasa
Vernier Caliper are made with different materials even plastic vernier calipers are also available in market however generally stainless steel is used in making of vernier calipers
0.1mm It is the range of verniercalliper. As it has least count 0.1mm that's why its range is 0.1 mm in physics laboratory
A caliper is a tool that can be used to measure both internal and external diameter accurately. It consists of two arms with measuring jaws that can be adjusted to fit the size of the object being measured. The different types of calipers include digital, dial, and Vernier calipers.
Vernier calipers are in use in machine shops throughout the world. Of course, they are gradually being replaced by digital calipers but, plenty are still in use in England.
Vernier calipers is more convenient to use compared to the external and internal calipers because vernier caliper by its own could be used as external and internal calipers. When using Vernier caliper you can identify the measurement withtout using ruler, meter stick etc. but the internal and external calipers rely on measuring tools to know the exact measurement...

The modern vernier caliper reads to thousandths of an inch
Vernier Calipers are instruments that are used measure length. It is an instrument that provides a digit of accuracy.
Slide calipers was invented by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier.It was known as Vernier calipers.
Yes, they are handy instruments.
