SUMMARY A low‐cost device for making fine, but repetitive linear measurements under the binocular microscope is described. Linear displacement is coupled on to digital callipers which read the measurements in numerical values. The accuracy of the measurements was such that their 95% confidence interval was within 0·01 mm when read through the apparatus. The data were assimilated on a computer and then transmitted into a PC for analysis.
