Adolf Miethe
Adolf Miethe (nascut 25 April 1862 a Potsdam, va morir el 5 maig 1927 a Berlín) era un científic alemany, dissenyador de lents, fotoquímic, fotògraf, autor i educador. Va co-inventar la primera làmpada flaix fotogràfica pràctica, com també va fer contribucions molt importants en el progrés de la fotografia en color.[1]
Basant-se en una proposta de James Clerk Maxwell de 1855 (demostrada el 1861), va dissenyar una càmera de tres colors construïda per l'ebenista de Berlin William Bermpohl i utilitzada, entre d'altres, per Serguei Prokudin-Gorski per fer la famosa Col·lecció de fotografies per al Zar.[2]
