SteREO Discovery Microscope Systems

New high-performance optics – this is the outstanding performance feature that Carl Zeiss has focused on with the development of its latest entry level model in the sophisticated stereomicroscope class. The SteREO Discovery.V8 impresses with enhanced resolution, increased contrast and, most notably, a perceptibly improved stereoscopic impression. As a result, it offers a image brilliance that is without equal in this class of instrument. For a visible increase in information in all biomedical and industrial applications, the time has come for a new view of things.

Providing the ability to change rapidly from shadowfree annular illumination to lateral oblique light, contrast optimization through turning of oblique light around the specimen, continuous rotation of the illumination for a stereoscopic impression of the object in the live image – and all this at the push of a button! The list of new contrasting possibilities offered by the VisiLED illumination system with its white LEDs is endless!

New dimensions in operating comfort – with SteREO Discovery.V12. Carl Zeiss is expanding the borders of stereomicroscopy with increase depth of field, excellent color reproduction, high-contrast images and significantly more image information. New patented optics provide improved resolution and contrast. The innovative operating concept SyCoP (SystemsControl Panel) combines all essential functions of a stereomicroscope in a single handy operating unit. The sum of these advantages result in increased comfort and efficiency in the laboratory. With impressive stability and exceptionally large specimen room, SteREO Discovery.V12 is setting new standards in stereomicroscopy – particularly for applications in materials research, quality control, biology and medical research.

There’s a new performance standard in the demanding world of stereomicroscopy: Zoom Factor 20. The factor for the largest spectrum between overview and detail magnification. The microscope: SteREO Discovery.V20. A Carl Zeiss design. And a research instrument with which the pioneer of the CMO principle (Common Main Objective) has once again broken new ground for the future of stereomicroscopy after the telescope principle. The development of the SteREO Discovery.V20 has exceeded the limits of conventional modes of action. Founded on a new technological base and integrated into the SteREO* generation series from Carl Zeiss, SteREO Discovery.V20 is highly impressive and boasts a superior performance profile. For maximum precision and considerably more freedom in biology, medical and industrial labs.
