This 34 cm Galileo thermometer measures temperatures from 18 to 26°C using five blue spheres. The uniform color creates a calm visual experience and precise readability.

↕ 34 cm Ø 4,5 cm


This blue Galileo thermometer emphasizes consistency and visual restraint. Unlike multicolor versions, the single-color spheres shift focus to position and movement rather than color contrast. This results in a more subtle and refined reading experience. With its 34 cm height, the thermometer maintains a balanced presence, making it suitable for interiors where calmness and structure are preferred over visual emphasis.

Manufactured in Germany, this model reflects precise glass production and reliable construction. The clear cylindrical body ensures uninterrupted visibility of the spheres, which are carefully calibrated and sealed for consistent performance. The liquid remains stable and transparent, supporting accurate measurement based on the Galileo principle. The result is a durable instrument that combines technical reliability with a composed visual identity.

Key features:
• Dimensions: Height 34 cm, diameter 4.5 cm
• Number of spheres: 5
• Color: Blue
• Measuring range: 18–26°C

What is a Galileo thermometer?

The Galileo thermometer is named after Galileo Galilei, who discovered in the 16th century that the density of liquids changes with temperature. By floating coloured glass beads of precisely measured masses in a transparent liquid, you can read the temperature from the bead that is just floating or is the first to settle.

Features and specifications

  • Height: 34 cm
  • 12 blue-tinted glass balls
  • Tube material: high-quality borosilicate glass
  • Liquid content: clear, non-toxic mixture
  • Temperature range: 16 °C to 26 °C
  • Includes metal stand with non-slip feet

Benefits of the blue spheres

In addition to an accurate temperature reading, the deep blue colour adds a soothing and modern touch to your home or workspace. Each shade of blue contrasts beautifully with the transparent tube, making a stylish statement on your desk, windowsill or coffee table.

Applications

  • Interior decoration: an eye-catcher in living rooms, offices or studies
  • Educational tool: demonstrations on density and the effects of temperature
  • Original gift: for science enthusiasts, teachers or design aficionados

Tips for use

Place the thermometer in a room away from direct sunlight or draughts. Leave the device for at least 10–15 minutes to stabilise and display the correct reading. Read the temperature from the lowest-hanging bulb that is still just floating.
