2. Galileo thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_thermometer

   A Galileo thermometer (or Galilean thermometer) is a thermometer made of a sealed glass cylinder containing a clear liquid and several glass vessels of varying density. The individual floats rise or fall in proportion to their respective density and the density of the surrounding liquid as the temperature changes.

3. Thermoscope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoscope

   Philo of Byzantium is credited with the construction of the first thermoscope (or Philo thermometer), an early version of the thermometer. [6] It is also thought, but not certain, that Galileo Galilei discovered the specific principle on which the device is based and built the first thermoscope in 1593.

4. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

   Such thermometers are usually calibrated so that one can read the temperature simply by observing the level of the fluid in the thermometer. Another type of thermometer that is not really used much in practice, but is important from a theoretical standpoint, is the gas thermometer. Other important devices for measuring temperature include:

5. Timeline of temperature and pressure measurement technology

   As a temperature indicator it used red wine. (Rømer scale), The temperature scale used for his thermometer had 0 representing the temperature of a salt and ice mixture (at about 259 s). 1709 — Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit constructed alcohol thermometers which were reproducible (i.e. two would give the same temperature)

6. Thermometer - Wikipedia

   Vapour pressure thermometer Density Galileo thermometer [45] Thermochromism Some compounds exhibit thermochromism at distinct temperature changes. Thus by tuning the phase transition temperatures for a series of substances the temperature can be quantified in discrete increments, a form of digitization. This is the basis for a liquid crystal ...

8. Giovanni Francesco Sagredo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Francesco_Sagredo

   Sagredo added a scale to Galileo's thermoscope to enable the quantitative measurement of temperature, [14] and produced more convenient portable thermometers. [15] Sagredo also discussed with Galileo the possibility of a telescope using a mirror (a reflecting telescope). [16] In June 1619, Galileo and Sagredo exchanged portraits. [17]
