This black-and-white line illustration depicts a traditional mercury-in-glass thermometer vertically mounted in a rectangular wooden base with visible grain texture. The glass tube contains a visible mercury column, calibrated for accurate temperature measurement, and the base provides stability for tabletop use. Such instruments were common in scientific laboratories, meteorological stations, and domestic settings before digital sensors became widespread.
