thermometry
Gauging body heat
Thermometry is the measurement of temperature or the branch of science concerned with temperature measurement.
The term covers both the practical techniques and the underlying principles: advances in infrared thermometry, clinical thermometry.
A thermometer is the instrument; thermometry is the practice or study.
