Detailed explanation-1: -Calipers are used to measure the thickness of an anatomic part. This measuring tool is nothing more than a ruler with a fixed bar and a moveable bar parallel on it. The upright portion along with the moveable bar moves is marked in both centimeters and inches.
Detailed explanation-2: -The caliper has two types of jaws. The larger ones tighten around an object to measure the distance across it, and the smaller jaws fit into an opening and can then be pushed outward to measure the internal diameter. Adjust either pair of jaws by sliding the Vernier scale along the track.
Detailed explanation-3: -Caliper is the thickness of a single sheet of paper, measured in thousandths of an inch, mils or points. Caliper is measured using a micrometer, a device which measures minute thicknesses of paper by applying a static load for a set period of time.
