This Day in Science History - July 30 - Vladimir Zworykin
Jul 29th 2011, 22:05

July 30th is Vladimir Zworykin's birthday. Zworykin was a Russian born, American engineer who was a major contributor to the early development of television. He designed a method of transmitting pictures with sound electronically using a cathode ray tube called a kinescope. He also designed a camera system based on the same technology he called the Iconoscope. Much of the basic technology used in today's 'tube' television sets is based on Zworykin's work.
