Boy measuring his temperature
MODEL RELEASED. Strip thermometer. Boy using a strip thermometer to measure his temperature from his forehead. His temperature is displayed by the green area, which in this case shows 38 degrees Celsius. This indicates that he has a slight fever: normal body temperature is a degree lower than this. The cells in the strip each contain liquid crystals in a tight helix. The crystals are designed so that they expand and begin to reflect light at a specific activation temperature. Each cells crystals have a slightly different activation temperature. Fevers can be reduced with drugs, but most are short-lived and harmless. Skin thermometers are less accurate than mercury or digital types

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see a young boy diligently measuring his temperature using a strip thermometer. The model-released image showcases the boy placing the strip on his forehead, with the green area indicating that he has a slight fever of 38 degrees Celsius. The strip thermometer works through an ingenious mechanism involving liquid crystals contained in each cell. These crystals are designed to expand and reflect light at specific activation temperatures. Each cell possesses slightly different activation temperatures, allowing for accurate temperature readings. While fevers can be reduced with medication, it is reassuring to know that most fevers are short-lived and harmless. However, it is important to note that skin thermometers like this one are less accurate compared to mercury or digital types. This photograph captures not only the act of measurement but also highlights the significance of medical care and diagnosis in our lives. It serves as a reminder of the importance of monitoring our health and seeking appropriate medical attention when needed. With its vibrant colors and intricate details showcasing liquid crystal technology, this image from Science Photo Library provides both educational value and aesthetic appeal for those interested in healthcare advancements and scientific photography.
