A micrometer generally provides greater precision than a caliper, but is limited to a smaller range of lengths. For
example, it would take a six-piece set of micrometers to cover the range of a 6 caliper.

The horizontal scale on the sleeve is marked with graduations every .025 (25 thousandths). Every 4th graduation (starting after
0) is numbered consecutively. These numbers represents 0.100 (4 x .025 = 0.100) which is read as 100 thousandths.
The vertical scale graduations on the thimble represent .001 (1 thousandths). Every 5th graduation is numbered for clarity.
The vertical scale graduations on the sleeve represent .0001 (tenth of a thousandths). This is the vernier scale.
0.01mm and every fifth line being numbered from 0-50. Thus, the number of millimeter and half-millimeter divisions visible
on the sleeve plus the number of hundredths of a millimeter indicated by the thimble graduation, which coincides with the
central long line on the sleeve, give the reading.
