Biographie
-
Inheritor in 1878 of a quinine plant founded by his father, Armet de Lisle moved from supplying chemicals to laboratories in the early 1900s to research into radium. IN 1904 he built a factory at Nogent-sur-Marne for the production of uranium salts, seeking alternative sources of supply once the export of picheblende was prohibited from Austria. He also developed a close relation with Pierre and Marie Curie, founded the journal 'Le Radium', and a subsidiary company, Le Banque de Radium, to make the instruments and apparatus needed for its exploitation. Despite all this activity he made some original research contributions himself in particular developing an electroscope to measure the intensity (and so the value), of radioactivity in minerals (1).
