The AcuRite 20″ Galileo Glass Thermometer truly combines functionality and style as an exquisite accent piece for either your home or office. This thermometer measures indoor temperatures, as well as outdoor temperatures. The built in probe allows you to manually control the heat settings, while providing display ranging from +40 degrees to -40 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the perfect addition to any home or small office because it is small enough to fit on a countertop, mantel, or table top.
The best way to use these thermometers is to place it right next to your monitor. Put the probe in front of your computer screen. There are two ways that you can do this, depending on whether you have a laptop or desktop computer. Place the Galileo glass forehead thermometers in front of your screen for display purposes, and then turn on the computer to display the temperature gauge on the monitor. You can use these body temperature monitors at any time, even when you’re not home because they automatically shut down when your computer’s power source is unplugged.
One other great feature of these thermometers is that it comes with a mercury tube. When you place the thermometer inside the mercury tube, you can see the temperature rise as mercury releases mercury. You can also witness the exact amount of mercury released by placing the tube in the lid of the thermo-holder. These thermometers work the same way as liquid thermometers, where you just need a mercury-based thermometer, and a glass tube to place your probe into to measure temperature.
