Am I right in assuming that each marker is 0.01?

Just need to be sure

Yes, 0.01mm or 2/5th of not much

So "10" is actually 0.10 then? - Seems like a slightly confusing way of displaying it to me.

Yes, the main dial large hand rotates one full revolution for 1mm of travel, and the small dial hand indicates the number of full revolutions (i.e. millimetres). Simples...

As the saying goes, It's better to ask and be a fool for five minutes than not to ask and be a fool forever.
