The Spaceograph is a device in Ming's laboratory that can view distant objects. In the second chapter of the 1936 Flash Gordon serial, Ming uses the Spaceograph to see that the gyroships of the Lion Men are attacking his palace. The Spaceograph has a dedicated operator, although it can be used by others, including Ming and the High Priest. Similar to the Televisor employed by the Martians, as seen in the serial "Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars".
