🔍 Key Concepts

• Parts of a micrometer and what each part does • Which part you actually turn to take a measurement • Which parts are fixed (do not move) versus rotating

💭 Think About

• Think about which part your fingers grip and twist when you are closing the micrometer on an object • Ask yourself which part holds the fixed measuring surface versus which part advances the spindle • Consider what the sleeve and frame look like: are they stationary reference parts or moving parts?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the fixed measuring surface (that part is not the rotating one) • Identify the stationary scale where you read the main measurement (this part does not rotate) • Confirm which part is designed with a knurled or textured surface to allow easy rotation by hand
