Different Types of Thermometers

Contactless Thermometers

Contactless thermometers, also known as infrared thermometers measure temperature by capturing the infrared radiation emitted by the skin. These thermometers offer the advantage of being able to measure temperature without needing direct body contact, making them particularly hygienic and ideal for quick temperature measurements in multiple people. They are especially useful during times of infectious diseases, as they minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
