   Using the vernier caliper A biologist uses calipers to measure the length of a bird's leg. A caliper must be properly applied against the part in order to take the desired measurement. For example, when measuring the thickness of a plate, a vernier caliper must be held at right angles to the piece.

3. 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.

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 ...
