Answer 1

Explanation:

The main difference between them is Clinical thermometer works with the help of mercury while Digital Thermometer works with cells. Clinical thermometer is more accurate than digital one when it's cells are weak.

Clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature however laboratory thermometer is not used for the purpose of measuring body temperature. The temperature range of clinical thermometers is 35°C-42°C and that of laboratory thermometers is -10°C-110°C. The least count of both the thermometers is different.
