Parallax error is a systematic error that occurs when the eye is not vertically above the mark being read. Learn how to avoid parallax error and other types of errors in measurement with vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauges.
Mar 16, 2022 · Parallax error is when the pointer of a device looks like it’s at a different reading when read to the side compared to when read face-on. This is caused by the distance between the scale and the pointer.

Apr 30, 2018 · Parallax error occurs when the measurement of an object's length is more or less than the true length because of your eye being positioned at an angle to the measurement markings. Taking precautions can help you avoid one.
An example is a balance that isn’t zeroed correctly (zero error) or reading a scale at a different angle (this is a parallax error). To reduce systematic error: Calibrate apparatus by measuring a known value (e.g. weigh 1 kg on a mass balance), if the reading is inaccurate then the systematic error is easily identified.

Apr 30, 2024 · Parallax error is the measurement of an object's position from different lines of sight. Learn how it affects optical devices, meter readings, and weapon sights, and how to compensate for it.
Parallax error is the shift in the apparent position of your subject due to the difference between what your lens sees and what your viewfinder shows. Learn how to avoid it and use it creatively with Lomography's analogue photography tips.
