The invention is credited to several scientists, including Cornelis Drebbel, Robert Fludd, Galileo Galilei, and Santorio Santorio (Sanctorius of Padua), all of whom lived between 1550 and 1650. However, many of the devices were so-called thermoscopes, which indicated temperature change but did not quantify it.
The application of a scale is variously credited to Santorio or to Franscisco Sagredo (a friend of Galileo), between 1611 and 1614.
The first universal scale was designed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, followed by the scale of Anders Celsius in 1742.

JAMES SIX invented the Maximum and Minimum thermometer in 1782.
Sir Edmond Halley - of the comet fame - was a British scientist who made a number inventions, one of which was the metal coil thermometer. It is still in use today in refrigerators, freezers, and ovens. See related link for more information.
The thermometer was invented in 1596 by Galileo Galilei. The telescope was invented by Hans Lippershey in 1608 but it was a very different version than what is known as the telescope today.
German physicist Daniel gabriel Fahrenheit invented the mercury-in-glass thermometer
There is an ear thermometer?
In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer.
Santorio Santorio was the first inventor to put a numerical scale on the instrument. Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593 which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, the modern thermometer.
Galileo was the first one to invent the thermometer but another guy made a better thermometer than Galileo butt basically it is Galileo who invented the thermometer
The first modern thermometer, the mercury thermometer with a standardized scale, was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1714.
