A clinical thermometer/Medical thermometer is used to measure body temperature. It indicates temperatures from a minimum of ${35}^{\circ }Cor{94}^{\circ }F$ to a maximum of ${42}^{\circ }Cor{108}^{\circ }F$, which is the normal temperature range for the human body.

Laboratory thermometers are used to measure temperatures or temperature changes with a high degree of precision.

The max-min thermometer shows the current temperature and registers the lowest and highest temperatures attained since the last setting.
