Modern micrometer with a reading of 1.639 ± 0.005 mm. Assuming no zero error, this is also the measurement. (One may need to enlarge the image to read it.) Outside, inside, and depth micrometers. The outside micrometer has a unit conversion chart between fractional and decimal inch measurements etched onto the frame
A 1951 USAF resolution test chart is a microscopic optical resolution test device originally defined by the U.S. Air Force MIL-STD-150A standard of 1951. The design provides numerous small target shapes exhibiting a stepped assortment of precise spatial frequency specimens.
A Siemens chart filter in a collimator, used for auto-focus calibration of digital still cameras. In the field of video production, where it is often called a back focus chart, the Siemens star is widely used to adjust the back focus of removable lenses.
The micrometre (Commonwealth English as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; [1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, [2] is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equalling 1 × 10 −6 metre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 10 −6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a ...
A caliper using a calibrated screw for measurement, rather than a slide, is called an external micrometer caliper gauge, a micrometer caliper or, more often, simply a micrometer. (Sometimes the term caliper, referring to any other type in this article, is held in contradistinction to micrometer.)
English: Illustration of a micrometer caliper. The micrometer is showing a measurement of 7.145 mm ± 0.005 mm. Legend: Anvil: part that the spindle moves toward, and that the sample rests against; Spindle: moved by the thimble towards the anvil; Ratchet stop: limits applied pressure by slipping at a calibrated torque

Magnification is a ratio between the size of an object on a picture and its real size. Magnification can be a misleading parameter as it depends on the final size of a printed picture and therefore varies with picture size. A scale bar, or micron bar, is a line of known length displayed on a picture. The bar can be used for measurements on a ...
