Mercury-in-glass thermometers consist of a narrow-bore glass tube with a reservoir of mercury which expands and contracts with changes in temperature. The glass tube is graduated with a temperature scale and the temperature at the bulb of the thermometer is indicated by the level of mercury in the tube.  2, record 1, English, - mercury%2Din%2Dglass%20thermometer

Two distinct disadvantages restrict the usefulness of liquid-in-glass thermometers in industry; glass is very fragile, and the position of the thermometer for accurate temperature measurement is not always the best position for reading the scale of the thermometer. These difficulties are overcome in the mercury-in-steel thermometer. This type of thermometer works on exactly the same principle as the liquid-in-glass thermometer.  1, record 2, English, - mercury%2Din%2Dsteel%20thermometer

... the scanning thermal microscope... The microscope's probe may be the world's tiniest thermometer : it can measure surface-temperature variations of a ten-thousandth of a degree on a scale of tens of nanometers. The probe consists of a tungsten wire ending in a point perhaps 30 nanometers across. The wire is coated with a second metal, nickel, which is separated from the tungsten by a layer of insulator everywhere except at the tip of the probe. The tungsten-nickel junction acts as a thermocouple, generating a voltage proportional to its temperature.  2, record 4, English, - scanning%20thermal%20microscope

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The Fortin barometer... features a cistern partly made of glass, in which one can observe the lower level of the mercury and determine the zero point of the barometric scale. Before reading the height of the mercury column in the barometric tube, it is necessary to adjust the mercury level in the cistern so that it coincides with the tip of an ivory reference screw.... The tube [is] enclosed in a brass tube with small windows to observe the mercury level. The tube is fitted with a vernier for readings and carries three engraved scales. There is also a mercury thermometer with a centigrade scale.  4, record 5, English, - Fortin%20barometer
