Explicaţie
1 MSD = $${1 \over {20}}$$ cm
$$\because$$ 10 VSD = 9 MSD
1 VSD = $${9 \over {10}}$$ $$\times$$ $${1 \over {20}}$$ cm = $${9 \over {200}}$$ $$\times$$ 10 mm = 0.45 mm
Now, 1 MSD = $${1 \over {20}}$$ $$\times$$ 10 mm = 0.50 mm
LC = (0.50 $$-$$ 0.45) mm = 0.05 mm
= 5 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$2 mm
