English: This animation shows how to read calipers when there is a "zero error". In most cases, it is ideal that a caliper read 0.00 mm when the jaws are closed but the caliper in the animation shows a reading of +0.10 mm. This is the caliper's zero error, which in general may be zero or negative too. Since all measurements with these calipers would then overestimate lengths by +0.10 mm (i.e., a systematic error), the zero error must be subtracted from all length measurements. The formula for a proper reading of a caliper is "(actual reading) = (main scale) + (vernier scale) - (zero error)". In the animation, the main scale reading is 19.00 mm and the vernier scale reading is 0.54 mm, so the actual reading is 19.00 + 0.54 - (-0.10) = 19.44 mm. The error of the instrument is the width of the smallest sub-interval which is 0.02 mm in this case. The complete reading can be expressed as 19.44 mm ± 0.02 mm.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
