14. Harold Edgerton
He tried to produce a perfect coronet
from a single drop of milk falling
into liquid. To do this he invented
the stroboscope - a device to
produce short bursts of light.
This allowed him to take split-
second pictures of objects in
motion which could not be seen
by the human eye
Some of his photographs had an
exposure time of less than
1/10,000 of a second.
