Metrology is the science of measurement. It meant understanding the units of each quantity and the realisation of the units and calibration. In each country, they follow different unit systems, among them, the Metric system is the predominant system in the world. In this article, we have listed all the different Metrology topics that we have discussed so far.
Based on the field of application Metrology can be further divided into Industrial metrology, Scientific or Fundamental metrology and Legal metrology.

What is Interferometry in Metrology?
In the previous article, we have discussed what is Optical Interference, in this article we are going to discuss Interferometry in metrology. In simple words, Interferometry is nothing but the use of optical interference to carrying out precise measurements of very small linear dimensions. Interferometry in Metrology Due to the Optical interference of two or […]
What is Optical Interference?
Optical Interference is an effect that can occur when two or more light beams are superimposed. We knew that a ray of light is composed of an infinite number of waves of equal wavelength. the value of the wavelength determines the colour of light. For the sake of simplicity, let us consider two waves, having […]
What is an Optical Square in Metrology?
In the previous article, we have discussed the different Optical Measurement Techniques, the first one is the Tool Maker’s Microscope, the second one is the Profile Projector, the third one is this optical square. In this article, we are going to discuss briefly Optical Square in metrology. Optical Square An optical square is useful in […]
What is Tool Maker’s Microscope in Metrology?
We generally utilize microscopes in science and medicine. It is also a metrological tool of the most fundamental importance and the greatest integrity. The Holmarc’s Tool maker’s microscope is a multi-functional measuring instrument used in metrology for inspection and measurement of miniature mechanical and electronic parts and tools. Tool maker’s microscope provides a high degree of magnification, and […]
What are the Optical Measurement Techniques in Metrology?
An Optical measurement device is made up of Optical means. We are familiar with the most common applications of optics, namely Microscopes. Chemists, Biologists, and engineers use various types of microscopes. The main function of the microscope is that, for the visual magnification of small objects to a high degree with an additional provision for […]
What are the sources of errors in measurement?
Yes, it is not possible to measure the true value of an object, there will be definitely an existence of error either it can be very small (Negligible) or considerable based on application. This error can be evaluated as either an absolute error or a relative error. let’s discuss different sources of errors in measurement. This is a […]
