Mitutoyo America's 0.1 μm High Accuracy Digimatic Micrometer

Mitutoyo's High Accuracy Digimatic Micrometer on TechCorner.
Quality Digest LIVE, a weekly live broadcast from a website specializing in the quality and measurement industry, Quality Digest.
Each week, hosts Mike Richman and Dirk Dusharme highlight and discuss the news of the week in the metrology, standards, manufacturing and quality control industries.
This weeks feature is Mitutoyo America Corporation's High-Accuracy Digimatic Digital Micrometer, the first micrometer to offer 0.1 μm resolution measurement. Now high-accuracy measurement can be had in a convenient, handheld tool.
Features:
Enabling 0.1μm resolution measurement, this micrometer is ideal for customers who need to make highly accurate measurements with a hand-held tool. The High-Accuracy Digimatic Micrometer utilizes Mitutoyo's innovative 0.1μm resolution ABS (absolute) rotary sensor and high-accuracy screw machining technology to reduce the instrumental error to ±0.5μm, delivering higher accuracy without sacrificing operability.
A highly rigid frame and high-performance constant-force mechanism enable more stable measurement, while the clicks emitted while the workpiece is being measured assures the operator that measurement is proceeding normally.
Body heat transferred to the instrument is reduced by a (removable) heat shield, minimizing the error caused by thermal expansion of the frame when performing handheld measurements.

It is quite sensible for a very very small percent of the manufacturing population. The price is around $1100. There are several limiting factors that make the benefits of measuring with this Mic over a "regular" Mic not able to be realized. Operator Error...feel, dirt/contamination..temperature control of the mic and part...approach speed to the part...amount of part on contact to the Mic relative to pressure applied(in spite of the ratchet, it is not a "one torque setting fits all applications")...type of material(coefficient of friction changes between material and requires different pressure from the mic.) These factors plus some others, usually cause error and discrepancy in measuring to a degree larger than the gained tolerance in accuracy this new Mic has potential for. Intimately understanding the world of micron measuring is not a readily possessed attribute in the world of manufacturing.

Metric, please!

Except in a PME lab, what needs to be measured with that amount of accuracy?

Assuming this is 10mm and temperature rise from your fingers is 5 deg. Celsius, you introduce dimension change of 0,6 um. Correct me if I'm wrong or address the source of error by commenting on it/avoiding it. Otherwise this is unprofessional.
