Carl Zeiss is expanding the\nborders of stereomicroscopy with increase depth\nof field, excellent color reproduction, high-contrast\nimages and significantly more image information.\nNew patented optics provide improved resolution\nand contrast. The innovative operating concept\nSyCoP (Systems Control Panel) combines all essen-\ntial functions of a stereomicroscope in a single\nhandy operating unit. The sum of these advan-\ntages result in increased comfort and efficiency in\nthe laboratory.\nWith impressive stability and exceptionally large\nspecimen room, SteREO Discovery.V12 is setting\nnew standards in stereomicroscopy – particularly\nfor applications in materials research, quality con-\ntrol, biology and medical research. \nA New Dimension\nof Performance\nEasy operation: SyCoP \nCentral to the entire microscope operation: SyCoP\ncombines switch, buttons, joystick and touch\nscreen in the handy design of a computer mouse –\nmaking operation easy and mobile. \n\n\nPage 3\n3\nREO Discovery.V12\n\n\nPage 4\n4\nSee much more:\nThe optical concept\nCarl Zeiss, optical pioneer and inventor of stereo-\nmicroscopy, has invested its entire know-how \nand expertise in the development of a new optical\ndesign for SteREO.Discovery.V12 – with remark-\nable success. The patented optics are setting new\nstandards in modular common main objective\nstereomicroscopy. Thanks to higher resolution and\nsignificantly increased contrast, they provide 20%\nmore image information – in addition to sensa-\ntional 3D images. \nFlexibility: Intelligent interfaces\nThe modular design of SteREO Discovery.V12,\ntypical of common main objective stereomicro-\nscopes, offers greater flexibility in the selection of\ncomponents. In addition, intelligent interfaces\nenable the use of diverse options from the com-\nprehensive illumination and accessory program\nfrom Carl Zeiss.\nSuperior documentation:\nAxioVision, the microscope\nsoftware\nAxioVision, the imaging software from Carl Zeiss,\nis outstanding in the processing, analysis and\narchiving of microscopic images. The modular\nsoftware concept offers individual solutions for all\nrequirements – from the inexpensive entry into\ndigital imaging right up to demanding imaging\napplications, now often possible for users of\nstereomicroscopes. \nHIP (Human Interface Panel), a compact operating element, not only\nreplaces the conventional turning knob on the motorized zoom and focus.\nIt also offers additional storage functions and gives information on the \ncurrent status of the system.\nSteREO Discovery.V12 has been designed to provide optimal ergonomics and\noperating comfort. A new ergotube with a camera port enables variable viewing\nheight. The microscopic image reaches the camera without an intermediate tube -\nin outstanding quality.\nA sophisticated system of interfaces and adapters makes it possible to easily\nattach fiber-optic and LED components for observation and contrasting.\nAdvantages of the new stand construction of SteREO Discovery.V12: a spe-\ncial Profil S column provides the system with considerably enhanced stability\nwhile its lateral positioning creates an enviably large space for the specimen.\nUsing the slider on the transmitted light equipment S, you can\nchange the position of the mirror – either matt or polished – to the\nspecimen, thereby optimizing contrast.
