These instruments may range from simple objects such as rulers and stopwatches to electron microscope and Particle accelerators, Virtual instrumentation is widely used in the development of modern measuring instruments. All measuring instruments are subject to varying degrees of instrument error and measurement uncertainty. Measuring instruments, and formal test method which define the instrument's use, are the means by which these relations of numbers are obtained. Established standard objects and events are used as units, and the process of measurement gives a number relating the item under study and the referenced unit of measurement. In the physical science, quality assurance and engineering, measurement is the activity of obtaining and comparing physical quantities of real-world object and events.
