German Catholic priest and astronomer who invented the Pantograph and known for being the co-discoverer of Sunspots - Fr. Christoph Scheiner (25 July 1575 - 18 June 1650)

Scheiner was a German Jesuit priest, physicist and astronomer. In 1610, he worked as a successor to Fr. Johannes Lantz S.J. in Ingolstadt, teaching mathematics and Hebrew. He lectured on sun dials, practical geometry, astronomy, optics, and the telescope. Scheiner is considered as the co-discoverer of the Sun spots, together with Galileo Galilei, Thomas Harriot and Johann Fabricius. Scheiner pursued sunspot observations for more than 15 years and devised techniques that greatly improved the accuracy of observed sunspot positions, and designed specialized solar observing instruments. Results of his observations were published in 1630 in his Rosa Ursina. He constructed a number of different kinds of telescopes, and in particular (perhaps at the suggestion of Kepler) he made one with two convex lenses instead of Galileo's scheme which included one concave and the other convex. This improved sightings greatly. The pantograph was also invented by him in 1603 for mechanically copying a figure on an enlarged or reduced scale. Also provided insights into the nature of the eye, he found that the retina is the seat of vision and the optic nerve transmits the images from the retina to the brain.
