English term or phrase: vernier caliper
Hello everyone


This instrument is located in a list of several ones used in the inspection of prosthetic implants' materials. I am sorry I am not able to offer more context.

How could I translate it?... I can imagine Vernier is its name per se

Thanks in advance :)
