Temperature measurement using modern scientific thermometers and temperature scales goes back at least as far as the early 18th century, when Gabriel Fahrenheit adapted a thermometer (switching to mercury) and a scale both developed by Ole Christensen Rømer. Fahrenheit’s scale is still in use, alongside the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale.

Farenheit proposed his scale in 1724 and Celsius proposed his scale in 1742.
