Figure 3.1 is a schematic diagram of a single disk spherometer. It consists of a central leg OS, which can be raised or lowered through a threaded hole V (nut) at the centre of the frame F. The metallic triangular frame F supported on three legs of equal length A, B and C. The lower tips of the legs form three corners of an equilateral triangle ABC and lie on the periphery of a base circle of known radius, r. The lower tip of the central screw, when lowered to the plane (formed by the tips of legs A, B and C) touches the centre of triangle ABC. A circular scale (disc) D is attached to the screw.  The circular scale may have 50 or 100 divisions engraved on it. A vertical scale P marked in millimetres or half-millimetres, called main scale or pitch scale P is also fixed parallel to the central screw, at one end of the frame F. This scale is kept very close to the rim of disc D but it does not touch the disc D. This scale reads the vertical distance when the central leg moves through the hole V.

The Least count (LC) is the distance moved by the spherometer screw, when the screw is turned through 1 division on the circular. We are using a spherometer which has 100 divisions (N) on the disc. The least count can be calculated using the formula,

Definition noun (general) The condition of polarity (biology) The process or act of producing positive and negative electric charge values to opposite ends, such as the electrical charge inside a (nerve) cell relative to the surrounding environment Supplement Polarization in general context refers to the state or condition of polarity. In biology, polarization pertains to the act or process of producing a positive electrical charge and a negative electrical charge such that between a nerve cell internal electrical charge, which is negative, and the surrounding environment of a nerve cell, which is positive. The cell is able to regulate the differing electrical charge relative to its surrounding via the plasma membrane. A closer look at the plasma membrane reveals transmembrane proteins and pumps that act as ion channels. These proteins that are embedded in the plasma membrane are selective, which means they allow certain molecules to move in and out of the cell while prevent or control the efflux and influx of others (in this regard, ions). There are move negative ions (e.g. Cl–) inside the cell, which results in a cell that is negative relative to the outside. In general, a nerve cell has a resting potential of approximately -70 mV.1 Word origin: French polarisation Variant(s):

Now, let l be the distance between any two legs of the spherometer or the side of the equilateral triangle ABC (Fig. 3.4), then from geometry we have, a = l/√3. Thus the radius of curvature of the spherical surface can be given by,

The vertical distance moved by the screw S in one complete rotation of the circular Scale/Disc D is called the pitch (p) of the spherometer. To find the pitch, give full rotation to the screw (say 4 times) and note the distance (d) advanced over the pitch scale.
