2.
Temperature Difference Sensor
This sensor is ideal for investigating thermal conductivity and
small changes in temperature between two points. The sensors tips have very low
thermal mass which make them very sensitive to the smallest changes in
temperature. For instance you can compare the temperature of the skin in
different parts of the body or between two people.

3. High Temperature Sensor 
This sensor
is designed to use a type K thermocouple to measure temperature over two ranges.
It offers the benefit with a low thermal mass probe of measuring very small or
fast changes in temperature such as the change when a gas is compressed using
the volume sensor. In
the high range it can be used to measure the temperature of a Bunsen flame right
down to the very low sublimation point of solid CO2.

- Ranges -20 to 120˚C
and -200 to 1200˚C
- Minimum recommended
recording interval 50 µs
Optional accessories
- S1841 Very low thermal
mass probe -75 to 250 ˚C
- S1842 Standard high
temperature probe -50 to 1000˚C
- S1852 Very low thermal
mass probe with syringe adapter (for use with the volume sensor range) 0 to
80 ˚C
This sensor has very low thermal mass and so is ideal for measuring fast temperature changes and surface temperatures. It should not be used in liquids.
