In the measuring instrument a transparent linear scale is fixedly disposed on the caliper body with its axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the caliper body and a transparent index scale is mounted on the slider with its calibrated face disposed opposite to the calibrated face of the linear scale and slightly spaced apart relationship. A measuring circuit including a digital display element is mounted in the slider and is electrically connected to a light emitting element and a light receiving element mounted in the slider. The light emitting element and the light receiving element are disposed opposite to each other with the linear scale and the index scale interposed thereinbetween.
