Here we demonstrate a novel method to measure temperatures with a sensitivity of ∼ 10 mK/√Hz and nanometer spatial resolution. Its temperature application range is at least from 120 K to 600 K and includes ambient conditions. It is therefore interesting for material and lifescience. We employ a single optically active paramagnetic defect in a nanometer size diamond, namely the nitrogen-vacancy center. More precisely the spin state can be read out optically and its energy levels depends on temperature among others. We have developed a novel technique to circumvent the main detrimental effects to achieve the stated sensitivity.
