  2. Vernier scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale

    The standard for a caliper is usually a constant of 0.02 Vernier caliper scale with the normal 0.02 vernier constant, showing measurement of object at 19.44 mm to two decimal places. The use of the vernier scale is shown on a vernier caliper which measures the internal and the external diameters of an object.

  3. Pierre Vernier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Vernier

    Vernier caliper scales; main at top, vernier at bottom. It reads 3.58 mm ± 0.02 mm by adding 3.00 mm (left red mark) on the fixed main scale to vernier 0.58 mm (right red mark). The main scale reading is the rightmost graduation that is to the left of the zero on the vernier scale. The vernier reading is found by locating the best aligned ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_Count

    In the science of measurement, the least count of a measuring instrument is the smallest value in the measured quantity that can be resolved on the instrument's scale. [1] The least count is related to the precision of an instrument; an instrument that can measure smaller changes in a value relative to another instrument, has a smaller "least ...

  5. Calipers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

    A vernier caliper does not easily lose its calibration, but a sharp impact or accidental damage to the measuring surface in the caliper jaw can be significant enough to displace zero. [29] Digital calipers have zero set buttons, for quick recalibration. Vernier, dial and digital calipers can be used with accessories that extend their usefulness.

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Using_the_caliper

    Using a vernier caliper to take measurements on a nut. The 1st two digits are decided by the location of the 0 on the lower scale. The last digit is determined by the 1st line on the lower scale that exactly matches the upper scale.

  7. Vernier acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_acuity

    Vernier acuity is measured by asking participants to judge the offset between two parallel line segments with both eyes (binocular vision) or with each eye individually (monocular vision). [10] Vernier measures in infants and non-verbal children can be done using the preferential-looking technique [11] or by electrophysiological techniques. [12 ...
