Re: What is this Micronta ?
It's an engineers protractor.
I have seen them used in a machine shop to set / clamp things at any angle on a milling table or any other cutting machine eg EDM. Works fine as an inclinometer for setting the polar axis altitude on an equatorial mounting.

Any metaphor will tear if stretched over too much reality.
