Micrometer \Mi*crom"e*ter\, n. [Micro- + -meter: cf. F.       microm[8a]tre.]       An instrument, used with a telescope or microscope, for       measuring minute distances, or the apparent diameters of       objects which subtend minute angles. The measurement given       directly is that of the image of the object formed at the       focus of the object glass.          {Circular, [or] Ring}, {micrometer}, a metallic ring fixed in             the focus of the object glass of a telescope, and used to             determine differences of right ascension and declination             between stars by observations of the times at which the             stars cross the inner or outer periphery of the ring.          {Double image micrometer}, a micrometer in which two images             of an object are formed in the field, usually by the two             halves of a bisected lens which are movable along their             line of section by a screw, and distances are determined             by the number of screw revolutions necessary to bring the             points to be measured into optical coincidence. When the             two images are formed by a bisected object glass, it is             called a divided-object-glass micrometer, and when the             instrument is large and equatorially mounted, it is known             as a heliometer.          {Double refraction micrometer}, a species of double image             micrometer, in which the two images are formed by the             double refraction of rock crystal.          {Filar, [or] Bifilar}, {micrometer}.
