Calibration is vital to ensure the accuracy of temperature measurements. Here are the steps for calibrating thermometers in histology labs:
Prepare a known temperature standard like a boiling water bath or an ice-water mixture. Insert the thermometer into the standard and wait for it to stabilize. Compare the reading with the known temperature. For digital thermometers, consult the user manual for calibration instructions. Adjust the thermometer if necessary, following the manufacturer's guidelines.
