Heinrich_Lamm
Heinrich Lamm (January 19, 1908 – July 12, 1974), a Jewish German-American physician, was a pioneer in using optical fibers for image transmission, and was the first to make a fiber-optic endoscope.[1]
When Lamm was a medical student in 1930,[2] he developed the first flexible fiber-optic bundle capable of transmitting images around curves.[3] His initial purpose was to check inaccessible parts inside the human body. He reported his experiments, but the imaging quality was poor. Lamm's effort to file a patent failed due to a British patent already filed by Clarence Hansell.
