Biographie
-
Duboscq was apprenticed to, and successor in 1849, to Soleil (qv) whose daughter he married. At the 1851 Great Exhibition in London he showed a stereoscope which he had developed as a result of discussions with Charles Wheatstone perhaps making use of ideas deriving from Joseph Plateau (1801-1883). Later developing the ideas of both he projected an instrument which he named the bioscope. This in effect was a steroscopic phenakistoscope, but only the disc for one example is known. In 1852 he took out a patent for a stereoscope. He made Foucault's electro-magnetic regulator as well as his heliostat and developed an electric arc lamp. In 1861 he manufactured an ophthalmic apparatus devised by Janssen and Follin, and developed a contiguous field calorimeter of his own design which continued to be manufactured by various makers until the mid-20th century.1 He also produced a saccharimeter of his own design and Ritchie's liquid compass. Gold medal 1867 exhibition, Paris. He was a member of the Légion d'Honneur and was succeeded by Philbert Pellin.2 Duboscq seems to have held demonstration soirées in his shop for in 1853 Charles Young assisted at one recording the spectacular optical demonstrations and experiments in his diary.3
