  • The first enclosed glass

    The first enclosed glass
    The first enclosed glass thermometer was invented

  • The Liquid in The Thermometer

    The Liquid in The Thermometer
    Gabriel Fahrenheit settled on mercury as the most suitable liquid for measuring temperature

  • The Freezing point

    René Antoine Ferchauld de Réamur proposed a thermometer scale on which the freezing point of water was 0°

  • Celcius Scale

    Swedish scientist named Anders Celsius devised a thermometer scale dividing the freezing and boiling points of water into 100 degrees

  • Absolute Tempeture scale

    Sir William Thomson, proposed the absolute temperature scale with zero degrees being the theoretical lowest temperature possible where molecular motion ceases.

  • The Real Freezing Point

    The freezing point of water could now be referred to, for instance, as “273.15 Kelvin.”

  • EarThermometer

    David Phillips invented the infra-red ear thermometer
