Discussion:
There is a written instructional page that explains how to read a micrometer caliper in the micrometer's box. The box also contains a decimal equivalents table.
A micrometer is used to measure thickness very accurately. This tool cannot be seen in a big class unless one uses the video system or lets the students come down to look at it.
