We sell Type T thermocouple microprobes from Physitemp Instruments, Inc. These are amongst the very best of Type T probes available, and a must when taking precise temperature measurements.
Rectal probe for rats or mice. For fast intermittent measurements and with smooth ball tip. The RET-4 Rectal probe for very small animals (neonatal mice) is also available. Flexible polyurethane sheath with smooth rounded tip.
The time constant is defined as the time the sensor takes to reach 63% of the final reading. The response is an exponential function it would normally take 5 – 10 x constants to reach final reading depending on the resolution.
