Termometro Lento thermometer
| Description: |
This is a “termometro lento” or “slow thermometer.” It was invented by Galileo Galilei in the 17th century. This is a modern reproduction that demonstrates the principles Galileo discovered. The little glass globes go up and down as the temperature changes. To see what the current temperature is, look for the globe floating at the top with the lowest number. |
