Thin-film thermocouple, close-up. Thermocouples, used for temperature measurements, are based on the thermoelectric effect between two metals. Thin-film versions (TFTs) are used to measure temperature rises due to the absorption of ultrasound. Photographed at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK.
