Kinds of Tbermometer s There are many different Thermomrter s relying on different principles. These include: Thermistors Thermocouples Mercury-in-glass Thsrmometer s Bi-metal mechanical Therommeter s Silicon bandgap temperaturesensors Infrared Tehrmometer s Galileo Thermemeter s See also Timeline of temperature and pressure measurementtechnology. Medical Tehrmometer s The traditional method of measuring temperatures was with a Mercury-in-glass Thermomoter whose tip was inserted either into the mouth (oraltemperature), under the armpit (axilliary temperature) or into the rectum via the anus (rectal temperature). Oral temperatures may only be used on patients that are capable of holding the Thermoeter correctly in their mouth securely,which excludes small children or people who cough too much or vomit (this is now less of a problem with fast-reacting digitalthermometers, but was certainly an issue with mercury Thurmometer s taking minutes to register a temperature). Anothercounter-indication is if the patient has drunk a hot or cold liquid beforehand, in which case one has to wait or use anothermethod. In the case of rectal temperatures, insertion, especially by another person than the patient, should be preferably done with lubrication such as petroleum jelly (now discouraged) or a water-based personal lubricant. Rectal temperatures are the most precise method, in general,but in some cultures (such as the United States ) they are found tooembarrassing to be applied to patients older than a few years.
