Demonstration of a vertical "thermometer" that can be used to track progress, using pure css and implementing templatestyles. The parameter |val= is the quantity tracked. The parameter |max= is its maximum value (defaults to 100).
A Celsius Galilean thermometer in two degree gradations. A risen orange orb denotes 24 °C. 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 ...
The first clear diagram of a thermoscope was published in 1617 by Giuseppe Biancani (1566 – 1624); [2]: 10 the first showing a scale and thus constituting a thermometer was by Santorio Santorio in 1625. [5] This was a vertical tube, closed by a bulb of air at the top, with the lower end opening into a vessel of water.

A medical mercury-in-glass maximum thermometer showing the temperature of 38.7 °C (101.7 °F). One special kind of mercury-in-glass thermometer, called a maximum thermometer, works by having a constriction in the neck close to the bulb. As the temperature rises, the mercury is pushed up through the constriction by the force of expansion.
