Glass Thermometers

Glass thermometers are the most common type of thermometer. They maintain the mercury column's position as body temperature rises, allowing for easy monitoring. Due to the dense structure of glass and the high stability of mercury, glass thermometers are accurate, stable, inexpensive, and require no external power supply, making them highly trusted, especially by medical professionals.

 

Electronic Thermometers

With advancements in science and technology, many new types of thermometers have emerged. Electronic thermometers utilize the definite relationship between the physical parameters of certain substances (such as resistance, voltage, and current) and ambient temperature to display body temperature digitally. They offer clear readings and are easy to carry.

 

Multifunctional Infrared Thermometers

Multifunctional infrared thermometers can measure both ear and forehead temperatures, offering a dual-function mode.

 

Patch Thermometers

Continuously developing technologies have led to a unique type of thermometer called a patch thermometer or dot matrix thermometer. This thermometer is only the size of a business card, about 6-7 centimeters long and 0.5 centimeters wide, and is covered with neatly arranged dots with numbers on them.
