History
Jean-Baptiste Soleil Established an optical equipment manufacturer called Maison Soleil.
Designed by Augustin Fresnel and manufactured by François and Jean-Baptiste Soleil, this lens enhances the power of lighthouse illumination.
Babinet's goniometer was invented by Jacques Babinet to measure the refractive index of crystals and the orientation of crystallographic axes.
Silbermann's heliostat, designed by Jean-Thiébault Silbermann, reflects a solar beam in a fixed direction despite the movement of the Earth.
Jean-Baptiste Soleil introduced a saccharimeter for determining the sugar concentration of a substance by measuring the angle of rotation of the polarization plane of light beams.
Henri Soleil was associated with the history timeline.
Léon Laurent is mentioned in the timeline.
Léon Laurent introduced the world's first polarimeter, designed and manufactured by Léon Laurent, used to measure the optical activity of substances.
Amédée Jobin took office as CEO.
The timeline covers events up to 1899.
