They measure the mass, usually in grams or milligrams, but any "type" of gram is possible. For example, the molar mass of a substance is the mass of one mole of that substance in grams. We can't count the individual particles, but we can measure the molar mass on a balance.

Is Temperature a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance?
No. As Temperature isn't by any way a measure of how much energy is ''stored'' in a substance, it vary with the heat capacity of the said substance...«Heat capacity (usually denoted by a capital C, often with subscripts), or thermal capacity, is the measurable physical quantity that characterizes the amount of heat required to change a substance's temperature by a given amount. In the International System of Units (SI), heat capacity is expressed in units of joule(s) (J) per kelvin (K).»
