the first material thermometer by Gelileo was made up of simple apparatus, which consists of a sealed beaker in which a long tube with both open ends was connected vertically over the beaker. the top of the tube is covered with a round flask with coloured ammonia filled in the setup. when there is a difference in temperature the ammonia rises and sprays like a fountain into the round flask at the top of the setup.
