Who was interested in the graphic recording of motion related initially to circulation of the blood?

Thomas Edison
Who wanted to merge the idea of the phonograph with optical synthesis of motion?

Louis Daguerre
Who was the inventor of the Diorama?

Zoëtrope
What cylindrical variant of the Phénakistoscope was its mirrorless improvement of it?
200
Edweard Muybridge
Who used a succession of photographic cameras to record and analyze the motion of horses?
200
Kinetoscope
W.K.L. Dickson realized Edison's idea, but it couldn't project. What was this device called?
200
Portable still camera
Edison's device was heavy and bulky. Lumière's was small and light. What did Lumière take as a model for the design of his device?
300
Joseph Nicéphore Niepce
Who fixed a photographic image on a metal plate by means of heliography, a process requiring many hours of exposure?
300
Praxinoscope
Émile Reynaud combined the Phénakistoscope with the Zoëtrope to project images on a screen. What was that device called?

Marey improved on Muybridge by adapting an apparatus devised by the astronomer Pierre-Jules-César Janssen. What was this device called?
300

Cinématographe
What was the name of the Lumière device for recording and projecting moving images?
500
Public exhibition
