  2. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer_(device)

    A micrometer, sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge (MSG), is a device incorporating a calibrated screw widely used for accurate measurement of components [1] in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers.

  3. Traveling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_microscope

    A traveling microscope. E—eyepiece, O—objective, K—knob for focusing, V—vernier, R—rails, S—screw for fine position adjustment. A travelling microscope is an instrument for measuring length with a resolution typically in the order of 0.01mm.

  4. Differential screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_screw

    Many differential screw configurations are possible. The micrometer adjuster pictured uses a nut sleeve with different inner and outer thread pitches to connect a screw on the adjusting rod end with threads inside the main barrel; as the thimble rotates the nut sleeve, the rod and barrel move relative to each other based on the differential between the threads.

  7. Filar micrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filar_micrometer

    Filar micrometer. A typical filar micrometer consists of a reticle that has two fine parallel wires or threads that can be moved by the observer using a micrometer screw mechanism. The wires are placed in the focal image plane of the eyepiece so they remain sharply superimposed over the object under observation, while the micrometer motion ...
