  • The Paris inch or pouce is an archaic unit of length that, among other uses, was common for giving the measurement of lenses. The Paris inch could be subdivided into 12 Paris lines (ligne), and 12 Paris inches made a Paris foot.

A famous measurement made using the Paris inch is the lens measurement of the first great refractor telescope, the Dorpat Great Refractor, also known as the Fraunhofer 9-inch. The 9-Paris inch diameter lens was made by Joseph von Fraunhofer, which works out to about 24.4 centimetres (9.59 English inches). This lens had the largest aperture of its day for an achromatic lens. The term for telescopes persisted even in the 20th century, with a telescope listed in the 1909 Sears Roebuck catalog of having 25 lignes diameter aperture, or about 80 mm (8 cm). (en)
