He was responsible for a large number of inventions in the field of the study of light, such as stereoscopes, cameras, magic lanterns and electromagnets… In 1883, Duboscq went into partnership with François Pellin, who added his name alongside Duboscq’s in the company’s signature, and the firm became Duboscq-Pellin.
