Audio tour 5. Medicine storage room

Collection #5. Medicine storage room. Any pharmacy has such a room, and it must be equipped with the necessary equipment and furniture (cabinets, shelves, trays), and herbal storage areas. The required temperature and humidity levels must be maintained, otherwise the medicines will not only lose their qualities, but may also become dangerous. Here, to the right of the entrance, you can see a large thermometer with a temperature range from -40 to +40 degrees Celsius. And do you remember who we owe this type of scale to? Celsius suggested a “Reverse Thermometer” — boiling = 0°, freezing = +100°. But Carl Linnaeus found this inconvenient, and he did everything the other way around. So the modern scale on a thermometer is the Linnaeus scale, not the Celsius scale.
