Domain Physicsmeasuring instruments
  • nihikutes, optikariistades jm. kasutatav abiskaala mõõteriista põhiskaala jaotiste murdosade lugemiseks
  • a small movable auxiliary scale, attached to, and sliding in contact with, a scale of graduation. Usually graduated at 9/10 of the scale on the main scale, it enables readings on the latter to be made to a fraction (usually a tenth) of a division by noting which member of the auxiliary scale is aligned with any line on the main scale.

Usage examples
  • Supplementary appliances, such as one or more fixed or movable hooks, rings, handles, plates, pins, tongues, winders, or verniers, which facilitate the use of the measure and extend its use, are permissible on condition that they cannot cause confusion.

Usage examples
  • Lugemi interpoleerimisseade loodi 1542. a süsteemina mõõdiste täpsemaks lugemiseks mõõteinstrumentidelt, nagu astrolaab, mille järgnevalt prantsuse matemaatik Pierre Vernier kohandas selle süsteemi 1631. a nooniuseks.

Usage examples
  • The nonius was created in 1542 as a system for taking finer measurements on circular instruments such as the astrolabe, and the system was eventually adapted into the vernier scale in 1631 by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier.
