Photograph of Dr. Albert Abraham Michelson, the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in sciences, standing next to the vacuum tube he used to measure the velocity of light, ca.1930. Dr. Michelson man stands at center in a dark suit and tie with a pocket watch in his vest pocket and a handkerchief clutched in his right hand.
