This is a stupid question :o, but how do you get the exact diameter of bamboo without cutting it down and not taking a ruler beside the culm and guess.

I've seen a measuring device that looks almost like a compass, but you can also use a string and get the circumference to calculate the diameter.

Use a calliper to measure diameters.
There are many different kinds:
