A vernier caliper is used for measuring lengths to an accuracy of 10-4 m.
What is the use of the vernier caliper?
The vernier calipers found in the laboratory incorporate the main scale and a sliding vernier scale, allowing readings to the nearest 0.02 mm. A Vernier scale on a caliper may have the least count of 0.1 mm, while a micrometer may have the least count of 0.01 mm.
