Harold “Doc” Egerton (1903-1990)
Harold Egerton was a Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT and a photographer, who is well known for his work on capturing images of high speed to allow them to be seen by the human eye.
The linked image shows one of his most iconic the Milk Cornet and a description of his technique: http://edgerton-digital-collections.org/galleries/iconic#hee-nc-64002 (assessed 17th Aug 2015)
Egerton developed the use of a high-speed camera, and strobe lighting and multi-flash setups to capture these images.
