Thermometer (16th Century)
The word thermometer (in its French form) first appeared in 1624 in La Récréation Mathématique by J. Leurechon, who describes one with a scale of 8 degrees. But each inventor and each thermometer was unique -- there was no standard scale. Finally in 1724 Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit produced a temperature scale which now (slightly adjusted) bears his name. Pictured is a classic Galileo model.
溫度計(jì)(16世紀(jì))
溫度計(jì)一詞最初是以法文La Récréation Mathématique的形式出現(xiàn)的,1624年J?勞伊雷肖恩首次用該詞來(lái)指代有8個(gè)刻度的溫度計(jì)。不過(guò)每個(gè)發(fā)明家和他們的溫度計(jì)都很獨(dú)特,也沒(méi)有標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的度量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。最后在1724年丹尼爾?蓋布瑞爾?華倫海特制出了一種溫度度標(biāo),經(jīng)過(guò)略微改動(dòng)后就是今天以他的名字命名的華氏溫度。圖中是傳統(tǒng)的伽利略溫度計(jì)的模型。
