The smallest measurement that can typically be made on an engineer's rule, which is a type of scale used for measuring lengths, is usually 1/16 of an inch or 1 millimeter, depending on the rule's design. Some precision rules may even allow measurements down to 1/32 of an inch or finer metric divisions. The exact smallest measurement can vary based on the scale's markings and the user's ability to read them accurately.
Synonyms of "specific" and "precise" include accurate, detailed, explicit, stringent or rigorous. A precise measurement is one made with well-maintained equipment and using the correct methods in a careful manner.
The most precise measurement typically refers to the smallest uncertainty in a given measurement, often achieved with advanced techniques and instruments. In scientific contexts, measurements can be made with remarkable precision, such as the determination of the fine-structure constant or the mass of subatomic particles. For example, the mass of the electron is measured with a precision of parts per billion. Overall, precision in measurement is crucial in fields like physics, chemistry, and engineering, where even minute differences can have significant implications.
James Gimzewski at the IBM laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland made the world's smallest calculator.
The smallest possible number that can be made using the digits 5, 2, 1, and 9 is 1259. By arranging the digits in ascending order, the smallest combination is achieved. The digit '0' is not available, so the next smallest arrangement begins with '1'.

The smallest accurate measurement that can be made on a standard metric 25 50 mm micrometer is typically 0.01 mm or 0.001 cm. These micrometers are designed to read to the hundredth of a millimeter or the thousandth of a centimeter, providing relatively precise measurements.
The smallest measurement that can be read with a micrometer is typically 0.01 mm or 0.001 cm, depending on the type of micrometer being used. This would have two significant figures in the measurement.

Units of measurement aren't made up of anything. The smallest unit of measurement is the Plank unit - 10^-35m. The smallest sub atomic particle is a Neutrino, and it is made up of, a Neutrino!

Never: A measurement made is always an approximation. We can get very close to being accurate with our measurements, but never fully 100% accurate. This is not the fault of the person measuring, or what tool they are using to measure with, but it is a natural law that we (anyone, even superior aliens to humans) cannot ever fully make an absolutely accurate measurement.
An accurate measurement is made with a pH-meter; pH-papers make only approximative determination.
The importance of least count ( the highest degree of accuracy of measurement) helps calculate the margin of errors when doing measurements.
