[++]Etienne-Jules Marey's work laid the foundation for the scientific study of motion and had a lasting impact on fields ranging from medicine and physiology to photography and cinematography, and is considered one of the founders of the motion picture. (In 1882, Marey invented the chronophotographic gun, a portable camera that could take a series of photographs in quick succession. This device allowed him to capture the motion of birds in flight, animals running, and even human locomotion. By studying the sequential images, Marey was able to analyze and understand the mechanics of movement.) He was a 19th century everything person: in addition to his contributions to chronophotography, Marey also made significant advancements in instruments for measuring physiological processes, oincluding the phygmograph and the cardiograph. As part of his study of the motion of birds Marey made very significant contributions to the field of aerodynamics. Seller Inventory # ABE-1629902757890
