  2. Vernier scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale

    Vernier caliper scales; main at top, vernier at bottom. It reads 3.58 ± 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 that to the left of the zero on the vernier scale. The vernier reading is found by locating the best aligned lines between the two scales.

  4. 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 ...

  6. Pierre Vernier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Vernier

    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 lines between the two scales. The 0.02 mm engraving indicates the caliper's accuracy and is the "Vernier constant" for this scale. He was born in Ornans, France, in 1580. He was ...

  7. 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.

  8. Height gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_gauge

    The left height gauge has the vernier scale, while the right one is an electronic height gauge with a digital readout. A height gauge is a measuring device used for determining the height of objects, and for marking of items to be worked on.

    Axis of altitude bubble and the vernier should read zero. These adjustments once made last for a long time. These are important for accuracy of observations taken from the instrument. The permanent adjustments in case of transit theodolite are:- Horizontal axis adjustment. The horizontal axis must be perpendicular to the vertical axis.
