Time-Lapse Cinemicroscopy

Cinematography commenced as a scientific technique used as a system for “slowing down” observed movement. Marey in 1888 (1 ) constructed, following a number of other ideas, a “Chambre Chronophoto-graphique,” which had practically all the elements of the modern cine camera. With this he made serial photographs (not transparencies) of various biological phenomena (2 ).
