Francis Bitter (July 22, 1902 - July 26, 1967) was an American physicist. Bitter invented the Bitter plate used in resistive magnets . He is the one who thought of using dust to visualize a magnetic field. He built the Bitter electromagnet by using stacked copper plates, rather than coiled wire. Previous to this time there was no way to cool the magnets so their power was limited.
