The Optical Concept

Interfaces & Documentation

Constructively at the very limits of physical feasibility

Flexibility: Intelligent Interfaces

Take full advantage of every new possibility offered by
state-of-the-art optical design. With experience and innovativeness, you don't have to look any further than the
optical systems from Carl Zeiss.

The modular design of SteREO Discovery.V8, typical of common main objective stereomicroscopes, offers greater flexibility in the selection of components. In addition, intelligent interfaces enable the use of diverse options from the comprehensive illumination and accessory program from Carl Zeiss.

For exceptionally brilliant contrast and a new image quality with greater information content.

Superior Documentation: AxioVision, the Microscope Software

The innovative simultaneous design process during optical modeling has resulted in a standardized optical concept for all SteREO microscopes. This creates significantly improved resolution and a perceptibly better stereoscopic impression of the microscopic image (even on our SteREO Discovery.V8 entry level model). Another area we focused on during practical realization was the systematic minimization of stray light for the entire optical system.

Axiovisio, the imaging software from Carl Zeiss, is outstanding in the processing, analysis and archiving of microscopic images. The modular software concept offers individual solutions for all requirements – from the inexpensive entry into digital imaging right up to demanding imaging applications.

Illumination - with Cold Light

Set your specimen in the right position

The new fiberoptic CL 1500 ECO cold light source with its wide range of light guides and accessories offers you a variety of opportunities for highlighting your specimens perfectly.

Designed for slimline, space-saving light guides, optimized for flicker-free live images on the monitor, providing constant light output even if the line voltage fluctuates, and with ventilation as quiet as a whisper – the high-intensity CL 1500 ECO cold light source outperforms conventional fiber-optic systems thanks to several practical advantages, and offers excellent performance at a superb price! Incidentally, lamps and filters can be changed quickly and conveniently even when stacked.
