There are numerous sensors available for temperature measurement under the name thermal sensors. Popular ones are the thermistor, thermocouple, RTD. Diodes can be used to sense temperature due to the change in their forward voltage with change in temperature. One of the advantage of using diodes is they have a nearly linear relationship between temperature and voltage applied.
Other Types of Thermometers. 1  Temperature strips: although not exactly a thermometer, temperature strips still measure the bodyâs temperature due to liquid crystals that react to heat. 2  It is usually placed against the forehead and changes color, which can be matched to a provided chart to estimate a personâs temperature. The most accurate way to measure an infantâs temperature is rectally with a digital thermometer. 2  Measuring body temperature through the armpit is probably the most inaccurate, in comparison to oral or rectal measurements.
