Determination of the Value of Micrometer.


Two pairs of lines were scratched on one slide of the slit, about 38mm
apart, i.e., from the center of first pair to center of second pair. This
distance was measured at intervals of 1mm through the whole length of the
screw, by bisecting the interval between each two pairs by the vertical
silk fiber at the end of the eye-piece. With these values a curve was
