Charles Edward Kenneth Mees FRS[1] (May 26, 1882 – August 15, 1960) was a British scientist and photographic researcher. Early life and educationMees was born in Wellingborough, England, the son of a Wesleyan minister. He attended the University of London. In 1906 he was awarded his D.Sc. with a dissertation on photographic theory. CareerFrom 1906 until 1912, Mees worked for Wratten and Wainwright, Ltd., assisting Frederick Wratten in developing the first panchromatic photographic plates, as well as light filters and safelights for the darkroom. In 1912, Eastman Kodak Company acquired Wratten and Wainwright because they were interested in the skills Mees provided. George Eastman convinced Mees to move to Rochester, New York, United States, where Mees created the Kodak Research Laboratories,[2] becoming its first director. Mees helped the US military in World War I in its instruction of photography.[2] After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Mees became an American citizen so that he could have access to high security war projects and information during World War II.[2] Later, he was named vice president in charge of Research and Development for Eastman Kodak; he remained at that position until he retired in 1955.[2] During his career, he published 100 scientific papers and 60 other works. Among his accomplishments was the development of sensitive photographic emulsions for use in astronomy.
