Dayton Optical Systems is a research company located in Central City.
History[]
Dayton Optical Systems designed The Prism, a device with the ability to create synthetic red sun rays. In November 2017, as part of the Earth-X invasion, Dark Arrow, Overgirl, and Eobard Thawne broke into the company facility and stole The Prism.[1] Later, it was armed as part of a doomsday device for the Wellenreiter; where it flew to Earth-1.[2] After the trio's plan was foiled (and the timeship destroyed),[3] The Prism was presumably retrieved and returned to Dayton Optical Systems by the Trinity.

He owns the company known as Dayton Labs, which is a research facility of Dayton Industries, located 14 miles west of East Hampton.
- The Dayton Laboratory was also seen in "Godspeed", from Season 5 of The Flash.
