With a clinical thermometer, we can measure the human body temperature accurately up to one-tenth of a degree. A clinical thermometer has usually two temperature scales marked on its glass tube on the two sides of the mercury thread: Celsius scale of temperature and Fahrenheit scale of temperature.

- To measure the temperature a person has to hold the tip of the thermometer either under the armpit or in the mouth under his tongue for a minute. Then we observe the number against the point at which the mercury column stop rising further indicates the body temperature of the person.
