The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier caliper typically corresponds to 1 millimeter. The vernier scale allows for more precise measurements by measuring to the nearest 0.1 millimeter.
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.

The least count of the vernier caliper is calculated by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the total number of divisions on the vernier scale. In this case, 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 20 equal parts, so the least count is 1 cm / 20 = 0.05 cm or 0.5 mm.

It is the scale on a micrometer.
To find the sensitivity of a vernier caliper, measure the least count of the caliper (typically 0.02 mm) by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the number of divisions on the vernier scale. For a micrometer, measure the least count (typically 0.01 mm) by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the number of divisions on the thimble scale. Sensitivity indicates the smallest change in measurement that can be detected by the instrument.
To measure to 0.0001 mm (or 0.1 micrometers), a micrometer with a vernier scale is typically used. This type of micrometer has a main scale and a sliding scale that allows for precise readings, often featuring a total of 50 divisions on the vernier that correspond to 1 mm on the main scale. Each division on the vernier scale represents 0.02 mm, enabling measurements to the nearest 0.0001 mm.

A vernier scale is a secondary scale that allows for more precise readings on a main scale, typically found on devices like calipers. A micrometer, on the other hand, is a precision measuring instrument that uses a rotating spindle to accurately measure small distances, often to within thousandths of an inch or hundredths of a millimeter. In essence, a vernier scale is a type of scale used for additional precision, while a micrometer is a standalone measuring tool.
To read a measurement on a micrometer, observe the main scale and the Vernier scale. The main scale represents the whole millimeters, while the Vernier scale indicates the fraction of a millimeter. The measurement is obtained by combining the values shown on both scales where they align.
The smallest division on the main scale of vernier calipers is typically 1 millimeter (mm). On the vernier scale, the smallest division is usually 0.02 mm or 0.01 mm, depending on the precision of the caliper. This allows for measurements to be read with greater accuracy, often up to 0.01 mm.
In a vernier scale with 25 divisions, the smallest main scale division is typically determined by the relationship between the main scale and the vernier scale. If the vernier scale is designed to provide a finer measurement, it often allows for a reading that is a fraction of the main scale division. For example, if the main scale has divisions of 1 mm, the smallest division on the vernier scale would allow for readings accurate to 0.04 mm (1 mm / 25), giving a finer resolution than the main scale alone.
The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier caliper typically corresponds to 1 millimeter. The vernier scale allows for more precise measurements by measuring to the nearest 0.1 millimeter.
The least count of a vernier scale is calculated by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the total number of divisions on the vernier scale. This calculation gives the value of one vernier division.
