Not on view

Edgerton's 1932 invention of the stroboscopic or electronic flash quickly effected a revolution in photography by enabling artists to work in locations and under conditions that had never before been possible. Although he himself was a scientist, Edgerton's achievement with the camera secured his place as much in the history of photography as in science.
