Be it eyeglasses or telescopes, camera or movie lenses, microscopes or microsurgical instruments, the ZEISS brand stands for technology that pushes the limits of what is possible. Relatively little is known about the company’s founder Carl Zeiss (1816 – 1888). Who was the man who set about revolutionizing optical device construction from his workshop in the small town of Jena ? Was the company established on solid entrepreneurial foundations, or was Carl Zeiss surprised, and ultimately overwhelmed, by his own success? The historian Stephan Paetrow and the Head of the ZEISS Archives, Wolfgang Wimmer, have embarked on a journey to discover the life and work of a man who was a husband, a technician and an entrepreneur: this is the story of Carl Zeiss. This biography also takes a look at how topical the Zeiss legacy is by talking to a family member, company representatives and an extraordinary scientist of the modern era.

Photography has come a long way since the first camera was invented in the early 19th century. From the pinhole cameras of the past to the digital cameras of today, we have seen many innovations that have changed the way we capture and document our world. And one company that has played a significant role in this evolution is Zeiss. Zeiss has a long and illustrious history in the field of optics, dating back to its founding in 1846 by Carl Zeiss in Jena, Germany. Over the years, the company has established itself as a leader in precision engineering, producing some of the finest lenses and cameras the world has ever seen. From the Contax to the Ikon, Zeiss has been synonymous with quality, c...
This book has been conceived as a reference for all those who want to deepen their knowledge of technical details, design concept and interac tion of the individual modules of Zeiss operation microscopes. The sub jects of the book are classified in accordance with our intention. Special emphasis has been placed on practical hints for the user of opera tion microscopes to avoid operating errors. Parameters which are of para mount importance for surgeon and assistant such as PD and diopter set ting are therefore described in detail. The effects of wrong adjustments are indicated. The above statements also apply to the ample selection of acces sories for Zeiss operation microscopes....
The following analysis illustrates the underlying trends and relationships of U.S. issued patents of the subject company. The analysis employs two frequently used patent classification methods: US Patent Classification (UPC) and International Patent Classification (IPC). Aside from assisting patent examiners in determining the field of search for newly submitted patent applications, the two classification methods play a pivotal role in the characterization and analysis of technologies contained in collections of patent data. The analysis also includes the company’s most prolific inventors, top cited patents as well as foreign filings by technology area.
Instrumentation and Techniques developed by the U.S. Lake Survey for levels of high precision are described. Automatic, or 'self-leveling' Zeiss Ni2 instrument is used with plane-parallel plate micrometer. Special techniques are used to compensate for systematic errors unique to automatic levels. Levels can be run with these methods to a tolerance of 1.5 millimeters times the square root of the length of the section in kilometers. (Author).
