The meticulously arranged laboratory setting behind him underscores his dedication to experimental research. The presence of a large telescope, a phonautograph, and various other scientific instruments speaks to his wide-ranging interests and accomplishments. Wheatstone's most notable inventions include the stereoscope, which revolutionized the way people perceived depth and three-dimensionality in images, and the concertina, an early form of the accordion. He also made significant advancements in the field of telegraphy, developing the first practical electric telegraph transmitter and refining the Morse code system.
