Simpler. More Intelligent. More Integrated.
Smart Design.
Smartzoom 5 incorporates highly intelligent quality 
assurance and quality control analysis (QA/QC) 
technologies as standard features. How intelli­
gent? Take its unique, dedicated QA/QC hardware 
design. Smartzoom 5 comes with a number of 
integrated components. Have a look at the opti-
cal engine, for example, which combines three 
functions – zoom, overview camera, and coaxial 
illumination – in a single component. All this 
in a lightweight, portable system that’s easy to 
assemble and set up – no expert knowledge 
or tools required. Your Smartzoom 5 always 
knows the status of all major components and 
corrects automatically for component variations. 
That’s smart design.
Smart Output.
Smartzoom 5 is the essence of reliability, delivering 
fast, reproducible QA/QC measurements for 
routine as well as failure analyses tasks. How 
reliable? The system’s guided workflow in combi­
nation with calibrated components supports user-
independent measurement results. And that’s 
just the beginning. The system is fitted out with 
several fully automatic functions designed to 
enable fast, highly reliable analyses while enhancing 
overall productivity. That means Smartzoom 5 
gives you the confidence that comes from knowing 
the quality of what you are producing at all times. 
Simply annotate your images and export reports 
to word templates. That’s smart output.
Smart Workflow.
Smartzoom 5 is equipped with a series of smart 
functions and workflow-oriented software, making 
it incredibly easy to put work through. How easy? 
It features an extraordinary macro recording and 
learning mode to enhance the workflow for 
repeat sample analyses of the same type in a 
step by step manner. The integrated QA/QC 
graphic user interface combines with gesture 
control to support a seamless macro-to-detail 
workflow, allowing easy navigation at all times. 
Features such as these make Smartzoom 5 
a user-friendly system to work with, even for 
untrained personnel. Image presets and enhance­
ment help you get the best image. A number of 
image algorithms enable automatic measure­
ments. That’s smart workflow.

Your Insight into the Technology Behind It
That’s Smart Design.
Smartzoom 5 brings you a number of cleverly integrated components. Cables are minimized and completely 
housed inside the system to eliminate clutter. The optical engine is the heart of the system, combining zoom, 
overview camera and coaxial illumination – three functions in a single component. Just one minute – that’s 
all you need to assemble the system, and you don’t need expert knowledge or specialized tools either. 
With Smartzoom 5, you have a choice of three different objectives of varying magnifications ranging from 
10× to 1,011×.* All three contain a bayonet mount that can be powered electrically, meaning you benefit 
from rapid objective changes and the objectives’ electrical connectivity. The segmentable LED ringlight inte­
grated into the objectives is powered via the contacts, and the geometrical correction values are accessed 
individually from the objectives. Not to be taken lightly: its smart safety features. For instance, if the objective 
touches the sample or  your hand, the motor stops automatically, protecting both user and sample.

Your Insight into the Technology Behind It
That’s Smart Workflow.
Orientation is always simple with Smartzoom 5’s 
integrated QA/QC graphic user interface supporting 
a seamless macro-to-detail workflow. As a result, 
the entire sample surface is recorded with sepa­
rate optics. You can see instantly which areas 
of your samples are relevant for microscopic 
inspection. Then move to those positions using 
gestures either on the touch monitor or the 
controller. You can also set up a coordinate 
system to use for carrying out subsequent exami­
nations of components. The images you record 
and the tools you use are displayed in a clearly 
arranged manner so you can get an overview 
of your entire inspection workflow at a glance. 
In addition, the entire workflow is neatly stored 
away, ready to perform the microscopic analysis 
again and again – step by step. With its auto-
feature detection, Smartzoom 5 automatically 
recognizes and measures samples based on 
parameters you have predefined. For optimal 
presentation simply choose from preview images 
using best image or live image enhancement 
functions such as HDR, noise filtering, sharpening, 
and stabilization. 
Thanks to the overview image you always know your position 
on the sample. 
All tools are clearly laid out; you can easily choose your 
five favorites.
With the image presets you can choose the setting which 
displays your sample in the best possible way.
Profit from easy, smartphone-like user interaction.

Your Insight into the Technology Behind It
That’s Smart Output.
As regards the tilting angle and the objectives, 
all Smartzoom 5 components are either encoded 
or motorized. Thus, the software continuously 
monitors the status of each component and stores 
the information together with the imaging data. 
Smartzoom 5 also features a user management 
system that ensures reproducibility by restricting 
the adjustments individual operators can make. 
Annotate your images and export reports effort­
lessly to word templates.
With the microscope’s swing arm you can view structures on the sample surface from continuously adjustable angles between –45° and +45°. 
As you do so, the pivot point of the swivel axis remains stable, and likewise the focus remains squarely on your sample.

Tailored Precisely to Your Applications
Typical Applications, Typical Samples
Task
ZEISS Smartzoom 5 Offers
Automotive Industry
Working with structures having different contrasts and small pits 
and/or bumps.
The switchable ringlight lets you view these pits and bumps in the best possible way. 
Then use HDR to compensate for contrast differences and intensity variations.
Electronics Industry
Analyzing individual components within the overall context of a component 
assembly. Your samples exhibit significant height differences, yet you want 
to capture everything in sharp images.
With its integrated overview camera and relative coordinate system, Smartzoom 5 places 
your microscopic analysis in the overall context of the sample. EDF brings significant 
height differences into focus.
Metal Industry
Comparing the two-dimensional shape of machined components to their 
respective specifications. Analyzing identical parts more than once.
An extensive set of 2D measuring tools give you the ideal means for analyzing parts. 
Teachable jobs enable repetetive analyses.
Medical Device Industry
Examining three-dimensional metal components such as stents or molded 
plastic parts for defects or specification deviations.
Smartzoom 5 makes true-to-life reconstruction and measurement of your part in 
3D possible.
