What is a Galileo Thermometer?
The Galileo Thermometer is named after the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei. Its basic principle is based on the density of liquids and the way in which coloured glass balls rise or fall within a glass cylinder as the temperature changes.
Features & Benefits
Precision Temperature Measurement
Each coloured ball has its own weight and is marked in degrees Celsius. Due to the varying density of the liquid, you can immediately see which balls are floating, indicating the current temperature.
Elegant Design
The slender, 28 cm tall glassware with a matt black finish gives a modern look. Perfect for the home, office, living room or even as a gift for science enthusiasts.
Durable Materials
The thermometer is made from high-quality, heat-resistant glass and colourful, lead-free liquid. This guarantees years of reliable use without discolouration.
Usage
Place the thermometer on a flat surface or hang it using the included bracket. Avoid direct sunlight and open windows for the most accurate reading.
