The award honors the memory of Dr. Carl Pulfrich, a member of the scientific staff at Carl Zeiss
Carl Zeiss (September 11, 1816 – December 3, 1888) was an optician commonly known for the company he founded, Zeiss. from 1890 to 1927, during which time he directed the design of the first stereo photogrammetric and surveying instruments Surveying instruments Instruments used in surveying operations to measure vertical angles, horizontal angles, and distance. Such devices were originally mechanical only, but technological advances led to mechanical-optical devices, optical-electronic devices, from Zeiss.
