  2. Test probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_probe

    A thermocouple probe. Temperature probes are used to make contact measurements of surface temperatures. They employ a temperature sensor such as a thermistor, thermocouple, or RTD, to produce a voltage that varies with temperature. In the case of thermistor and RTD probes, the sensor must be electrically stimulated to produce a voltage, whereas ...

  3. Scanning thermal microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_thermal_microscopy

    SThM requires the use of specialized probes. There are two types of thermal probes: Thermocouple probes where the probe temperature is monitored by a thermocouple junction at the probe tip and resistive or bolometer probes where the probe temperature is monitored by a thin-film resistor at probe tip. These probes are generally made from thin ...

  4. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

    UPRTs have a wide temperature range (−200 °C to 1000 °C) and are approximately accurate to ±0.001 °C over the temperature range. UPRTs are only appropriate for laboratory use. Another classification of laboratory PRTs is Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (Standard SPRTs). They are constructed like the UPRT, but the materials are ...

  5. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    A multimeter can use many different test probes to connect to the circuit or device under test. Crocodile clips, retractable hook clips, and pointed probes are the three most common types. Tweezer probes are used for closely spaced test points, as for instance surface-mount devices. The connectors are attached to flexible, well insulated leads ...

  6. Probe tip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probe_Tip

    A probe tip is an instrument used in scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) to scan the surface of a sample and make nano-scale images of surfaces and structures. The probe tip is mounted on the end of a cantilever and can be as sharp as a single atom .

  7. Thermodynamic instruments - Wikipedia

    From the ideal gas law, the volume of such a sample can be used as an indicator of temperature; in this manner it defines temperature. Although pressure is defined mechanically, a pressure-measuring device called a barometer may also be constructed from a sample of an ideal gas held at a constant temperature.

  8. Refractometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractometer

    Therefore, the temperature of the prism and the temperature of the sample have to be controlled with high precision. There are several subtly-different designs for controlling the temperature; but there are some key factors common to all, such as high-precision temperature sensors and Peltier devices to control the temperature of the sample and ...

  9. Bathythermograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathythermograph

    The unit is composed of a probe; a wire link; and a shipboard canister. Inside of the probe is a thermistor which is connected electronically to a chart recorder. The probe falls freely at 20 feet per second and that determines its depth and provides a temperature-depth trace on the recorder.
