ECLATRON A.G. • Horw, Switzerland.

The true invention of the flash goes back to the brothers Laurent and Augustin Seguin, who presented the Stroborama in France in 1925, a tube filled with krypton whose instantaneous discharge was powered by a capacitor. In 1936, Frenchman Paul Laporte had the idea of ??using xenon, which is similar to daylight when made conductive to electricity. American physicist Harold Edgerton developed the first electronic studio flash in 1939. Russian engineer Dimitri Issaievitch Rebikoff worked on the subject from 1943 in Paris, then in Switzerland, where he invented the electronic flash, the Eclatron, patented in France and Switzerland.
