PracticalKida.com Conclusions The results obtained using the digital micrometer are very close to the previously calculated values Practical Related Questions 1. Are micrometers used in telescopes or microscopes? Answer: Micrometers are primarily used in microscopes. They are essential for making precise measurements of small objects that are visible under the microscope. While telescopes are also used for making observations of distant objects, they typically rely on different types of measurement tools, such as angular measurements for determining the position of celestial bodies. Micrometers are not as well-suited for measuring the vast distances involved in astronomical observations. 2. State the main types of screw gauges. Answer: Micrometer screw gauge: This is the most common type of screw gauge and is used to measure small dimensions with high accuracy. It typically has a least count of 0.01 mm or less.
