The Michelson Interferometer was invented by Albert Michelson , who was pre-occupied with the discovery of the Speed of Light. This was not the original purpose of the device, however. it splits two light beams and then brings them into coincidence. In a sense this is not too different from a Stigmometer or split-image range finder used on some cameras. The Leica III Camera had one, I was shocked when a friend of mine let me use it- I saw Two Mr. Mclaughlins ( the school librarian) walking down the street, my friend said- bring the image into coincidence and the camera is focused!
