used in measuring very small things like wires and small objects
One micrometer is larger than one nanometer. One micrometer is equal to 1000 nanometers.
The instrument is named a micrometer screw because it uses a calibrated screw mechanism to make precise measurements in micrometers (one millionth of a meter). The screw has finely spaced threads that allow for accurate adjustment and measurement of small distances.
A caliper can be used to measure the internal and external diameter of a tube with about a 5cm bore. Make sure to use the appropriate jaws of the caliper for accurate measurements. Alternatively, a micrometer can also be used for precise measurements of the tube's diameter.
it is abbreviated with um
To find the least count of a micrometer in the imperial system, first convert the micrometer value to inches. Then, divide 1 inch by the number of divisions on the micrometer scale. This will give you the least count of the micrometer in the imperial system.
A calliper is any tool with a claw-like shape/movement, like a calliper micrometer, which is used to measure the size of small parts with high accuracy, or the calliper brakes on a bicycle or a car with disc brakes.

The most compelling reason to select the micrometer Screw over the Vernier caliper is the guarantee that when measuring a flexible surface, the same amount of pressure is applied between samples. The Vernier caliper has the ability to measure internal and externally, but if precision is required, the micrometer screw is the tool of choice.
Measuring dimensions of small things.
Machinist, for one example; mechanical engineers, technicians, tc.
calliper seems to be sticking up
A decimal penny used in the UK, has a diameter of exactly 2 centimetres (20 millimetres). Therefore, use either cm or mm.
A micrometer is equal to exactly 1 micrometer.

Verniers give you a less accurate approximation of the thickness, whereas a micrometer can give a more accurate measurement, often by 100 orders more accurate.
