How do you take the reading of a thermometer?
After the thermometer has come into thermal equilibrium with the object being measured, the top level of the liquid (mercury or alcohol thermometer) is the temperature. The indicators will often also be colored red on mechanical (coil expansion) thermometers. Digital thermometers should be "locked" at the recorded temperature if the probe is to be removed before viewing, as it may heat or cool even during a very short interval.

(Temperature sensor: laboratory uses.<--this may not count as one of the thermometers XD ) 2. infra-red thermometer: measuring body temperature. 3. rotary thermometer: measuring the temperature of ovens and freezers. 4. resistance thermometer: measuring temperatures from -200 degree C to 1000 degree C, e.g. engines and ovens, etc. 5. thermistor thermometer: measuring the temperature of human body and electrical appliances. 6. liquid crystal thermometer: measuring the temperature of human body and fish tanks. ( the color of liquid crystal changes with temperature.)
