John Benjamin Dancer

John Benjamin Dancer (October 8, 1812 - November 24th, 1887) was a scientific instrument maker and inventor of microphotography. He also pioneered stereography. By 1835, he controlled his father's instrument making business. He was responsible for various inventions, but did not patent many of his ideas. In 1852, he invented the stereoscopic camera (GB patent 2064/1852). He died at the age of 75 and was buried at Brooklands Cemetery, Sale, Greater Manchester.
