Summary: High-precision measurement of small dimensions.

Micrometers are precision instruments used for taking very accurate measurements of dimensions like thickness, diameter, and length. They employ a finely threaded screw to achieve this accuracy, and different types exist for specific applications: outside micrometers measure external dimensions, inside micrometers measure internal dimensions like hole diameters, and depth micrometers measure the depth of recesses or steps.
