The manual mercury thermometer is a time-tested medical instrument used for measuring body temperature with high accuracy. It contains a mercury-filled glass tube that expands when exposed to body heat, allowing users to read the temperature on a calibrated scale. Ideal for clinical and home use, it can be used orally, axillary (underarm), or rectally. Though largely replaced by digital options in modern settings, it remains a preferred choice for those seeking consistent and reliable readings without the need for batteries.
