During 1942, Norman W. Edmund, an amateur photographer, turned to an order-by-mail advertisement to find a specific lens he needed for his hobby. Difficulty in finding the lens prompted him to place his own ad offering specialty lenses in a photography magazine.
The lenses sold out almost immediately and the Edmund Salvage Company was born.
The coming of the space age saw an Edmund Scientific lens go to the moon as a critical component in the first color TV camera to record the Apollo landings. In response to customer inquiries for an affordable compact telescope, Edmund Scientific developed the
Astroscan® Telescope, winner of the 1976 Industrial Design Award. In 2001 the
Astroscan® celebrated its 25th anniversary!
