IMAX Corporation first captured the world’s attention with sharp, large-format films at Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan. The IMAX® projector changed movie-goers’ expectations of spectacular wide-screen films when it debuted in Japan in 1970. IMAX® used an innovative film-transport mechanism to quickly and smoothly advance a 70-mm large-format film through the projector. This film carried an image ten times the size of the standard 35-mmmovie format, making it the largest frame in film history. As a

Canadian General Electric Monitor-Top Refrigerator

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Electric refrigerators changed the way Canadians stored, prepared, and consumed food. Before electric refrigerators, Canadians used root cellars and ice-boxes to preserve their food. In the 1920s, domestic electric refrigerators, or fridges, came onto the market as electrical distribution networks spread across Canada. Fridges used exposed belt-driven compressors to cool food, and resembled ice-boxes in their design; they were also expensive and noisy. Canadian General Electric, a subsidiary of

Electron Microscope

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

North America’s First Electron Microscope The sub-microscopic world became visible in 1938 when Canadian graduate students Albert Prebus and James Hillier revealed North America’s first electron microscope. With a 20,000-power magnification, the microscope transcended the limits of light-based microscopy and brought otherwise invisible structures and objects into sharp focus. A massive discovery on a microscopic level Prebus and Hillier were members of the University of Toronto’s physics
