Fritz Goro (originally Fritz Gorodiski; born 1901 in Bremen, (Germany) – died 14 December 1986 in Chappaqua, New York) was the inventor of macrophotography[1] and a photographer specializing in science, published in the Life magazine and Scientific American,[1] after he started his career as a photojournalist in Germany.[1]
Goro documented many major scientific breakthroughs, including pictures of the first plutonium ever produced, the first atomic-bomb test, the advent of microelectronics, the ruby laser, as well as photos of Ali Javan timing the frequency of light at M.I.T. laboratory.[2]
Goro was described by the evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould as "the most influential photographer that science has ever known".[3]
