II. Identification
_____________________ 1. He is an English philosopher and Franciscan friar who in his study
of optics, included a discussion of the of eyesight, the anatomy of the eyes and brain and
considered light, distance, position, size, direct vision, reflected vision and refraction, mirrors
and lenses.
_____________________ 2. He is a German mathemacian and astronomer who applied the
actual name of camera obscura and later added a lens and made the apparatus transportable in the
form of a tent.
_____________________ 3. A British scientist who, with his assistant Robert Hooke develop a
portable camera in the 1660.
_____________________ 4. In 1685, built the first camera obscura that was small enough for
practical use as a portable drawing aid because the only way to preserve the images produced by
the camera was to manually trace them.
_____________________ 5. This was the time when the electronic video camera tube was
invented, starting a line of development that eventually resulted in digital cameras which largely
supplanted film cameras after the turn of the 21st century.
______________________ 6. He is a British inventor and pioneer of photography. He was the
inventor of calotype process, the precursor to most photographic process of the 19th and 20th
century.
______________________ 7. He introduced the autochrome, the first commercially successful
color process.
______________________ 8. It is the first modern integral tripack color, was the introduced by
Kodak in 1935. It captured the three basic color components in a multilayer emulsion.
______________________ 9. He observed a partial solar eclipse in 330 BC by seeing the image
of the image of the sun projected through the small spaces between the leaves of the tree.
______________________ 10. He is an Egyptian scientist who wrote about observing a solar
eclipse through a pin hole and he described how a sharper image could be produced by making
the opening of the pin hole smaller.
