Clinical Thermometer

The clinical thermometer is a well known medical product. Everybody knows this old type of thermometer since the beginning of his life. Some people used to measure temperature in the oral cavity, other used to take the body temperature anal and other used to gage body temperature axillary. Everybody knows a story about this medical device and everybody knows, that a broken mercury-thermometer causes a lot of troubles due to the dangerous mercury vapour.
I took a sequence of pictures of the clinical thermometer to discuss the depth of sharpness in relation to small apertures of f/29, f/32 and f/36. I was interested into taking a picture of a transparent body made out of glass as well.
