content: Henry Howard Cary (1908-1991) was a graduate of the California Institute of Technology who joined the National Technical Laboratories (later Beckman Instruments) in 1935, and made important contributions to the design of the DU spectrophotometer. In 1946, he and two others established the Applied Physics Corporation, a firm that specialized in the design and manufacture of Cary spectrophotometers. Varian Associates bought Applied Physics in 1966, and renamed it Cary Instruments.
