The micro canonical ensemble (MCE) represents an isolated system having fixed energy. The nature of energy in MCE is always a subject of discussion. In this paper we are distinguishing the energy possessed by the system and the energy offered by the system for measurement in MCE. This we hope will help the learners of statistical mechanics to have a more understanding of MCE.
