The stage micrometer is a standard scale with standard unit of measurement. It looks like a meter rule etched on a slide (the scale is similar to a glass slide but with a scale of measurement on it). It has 100 divisions (i.e lines) which make up 1mm measurement. The smallest division is 0.01mm (10µm). 100 lines = 1mm 1 line = 0.01mm 0r 10µm Note: although each division on a stage micrometer measures 0.01mm, dimensions are to be presented in ______.
