A New Dimension
of Performance

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 (Systems Control Panel) combines all essen-
tial functions of a stereomicroscope in a single
handy operating unit. The sum of these advan-
tages 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 con-
trol, biology and medical research.

Easy operation: SyCoP


Central to the entire microscope operation: SyCoP
combines switch, buttons, joystick and touch
screen in the handy design of a computer mouse –
making operation easy and mobile.

HIP (Human Interface Panel), a compact operating element, not only
replaces the conventional turning knob on the motorized zoom and focus.
It also offers additional storage functions and gives information on the
current status of the system.

The optical concept
Carl Zeiss, optical pioneer and inventor of stereo-
microscopy, has invested its entire know-how
and expertise in the development of a new optical
design for SteREO.Discovery.V12 – with remark-
able success. The patented optics are setting new
standards in modular common main objective
stereomicroscopy. Thanks to higher resolution and SteREO Discovery.V12 has been designed to provide optimal ergonomics and
significantly increased contrast, they provide 20% operating comfort. A new ergotube with a camera port enables variable viewing
more image information – in addition to sensa- height. The microscopic image reaches the camera without an intermediate tube -
in outstanding quality.
tional 3D images.

Flexibility: Intelligent interfaces


The modular design of SteREO Discovery.V12,
typical of common main objective stereomicro-
scopes, offers greater flexibility in the selection of
components. In addition, intelligent interfaces
enable the use of diverse options from the com-
prehensive illumination and accessory program
from Carl Zeiss.
A sophisticated system of interfaces and adapters makes it possible to easily
attach fiber-optic and LED components for observation and contrasting.
Superior documentation:
AxioVision, the microscope
software
AxioVision, 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, now often possible for users of
stereomicroscopes. Advantages of the new stand construction of SteREO Discovery.V12: a spe-
cial Profil S column provides the system with considerably enhanced stability
while its lateral positioning creates an enviably large space for the specimen.

Using the slider on the transmitted light equipment S, you can


change the position of the mirror – either matt or polished – to the
specimen, thereby optimizing contrast. Reproducible.
