Vernier scale: History, Applications & Measurement

A vernier scale (/ˈvɜːrniːər/ VUR-nee-ər), named after Pierre Vernier, is a visual aid to take an accurate measurement reading between two graduation markings on a linear scale by using mechanical interpolation, which increases resolution and reduces measurement uncertainty by using vernier acuity. It may be found on many types of instrument measuring…
