micro meter least count in British system
0.00001"
The caliper and micrometer use a dial or digital readout to measure the distance between the tips. The tolerances of these tools can be under .001 inch, making them extremely accurate.
I have steel rules that are marked down to 1/64 of an inch.
1 inch
centimetres To measure an object smaller than an inch you can use a ruler. Builders often use rulers to measure things smaller than an inch. Or you can use a vernier caliper to accurately measure small things. If you r are talking about what measurements you use then you use parts of an inch ie 16ths or 8ths or 32nds of an inch.

A standard Micrometer using the Metric system has a limitation of measuring to within 0.01 (one hundredth of a millimeter) But micrometers provided with a vernier scale on the sleeve in addition to the regular graduations, permit measurements to within 0.001 millimetre to be made on metric micrometers, or 0.0001 inches on inch-system micrometers.

The modern vernier caliper reads to thousandths of an inch
1mm
An imperial micrometer can measure to within 0.001in (1000th of an inch).
A centimeter is much bigger than a micrometer. Comparison: 2.54 centimeters = 1 inch 25,400 micrometers = 1 inch
No. a micrometer = 1 millionth of a meter or 1 thousanth of a millimeter. At about 22 millimeters per inch, an inch is about 22000 micrometers, much, much longer.
Micrometer
1 micrometer = 1 millionth of 1 meter. 1 meter = 39.37 inches. so 1 micrometer = 39.37/1 million of an inch = 0.03937 thousandths of an inch
it is 20000 part of single inch.
