example, if the scale drawn on the paper is lo mm. long and represents o.oi mm. 

 of the actual micrometer scale, then the magnification is X looo; if it represents 

 the entire millimeter of the uiicrometer scale, the magnification is X lo. 

 For fine weighings, Christian Becker's balances are very satisfactory.
