Ottomar Anschütz (16 May 1846 in German Lissa – 30 May 1907 in Berlin) was a German inventor, photographer, and chronophotographer. He invented 1/1000 of a second shutter, and the electrotachyscope in 1887. The electrotachyscope was a disk of 24 glass diapositives, manually powered, and illuminated by a sparking spiral Geissler tube, used by a single viewer, or projected to a small group. His 1884 albumen photography of storks inspired aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal's experimental gliders in the late 1880s.
