A mercury thermometer reacts less than others to external factors and temperature measurement conditions, due to which it measures the temperature of a human body more accurately than other types of devices.

2. A modern electronic thermometer consists of a plastic tube with a display that shows the measurement result. The device informs about the completion of work with a sound signal Such models are distinguished by faster results and safety compared to mercury thermometers.

3. An IR thermometer detects body temperature using a special sensor that detects infrared radiation and shows the result in numbers on the device display. The device provides high accuracy when used correctly. The product can be attributed to the most technological and fastest, but far from the cheapest device.
