Why cant laboratory thermometers be used to measure body temperatures?
Assuming the lab thermometer covers that particular temperature range (about 35-45 degrees Celsius) then it certainly COULD be used to measure body temperature.It's not necessarily ideal for doing so, because lab thermometers are designed differently. Medical thermometers have a "wide spot" in the channel that prevents the working fluid (traditionally mercury) from retracting back into the bulb when the temperature goes down, and lab thermometers do not. This means that a medical thermometer gets "stuck" at its highest temperature reading until the thermometer is "reset" by shaking it. Lab thermometers do not do this, so the temperature must be read while the thermometer is still in contact with the item that you want to measure the temperature of. This may be awkward or difficult, if you're trying to measure someone's internal temperature.
