Actually had a colleague who determined distances on microscopy images that way. She would measure the scale bar included in the image with her ruler on the screen, measure the distance she was interested in and calculate the distance using the rule of three. I mean, why bother using the measuring tool included in the software.

I've heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

I was reading an old book about chromatography in laboratory and they exactly describe this method to determine the amount of substance.
