July 20, 2007 — Carl Zeiss MicroImaging Inc. has introduced the SteREO Discovery.V20 stereo microscope, which claims the industry’s largest field of view (23 mm at 10x), highest zoom range (20 to 1), and greatest resolution, all combined in one stereomicroscope to allow visualization of large samples and their fine details without changing objectives or eyepieces.
The new tool also promises a substantially greater depth of field than other stereomicroscopes, allowing the ability to view and measure well-resolved object details with greater ease and accuracy. Step motor control enables continuous increases in magnification with precise zoom levels to create a well-defined, high contrast image throughout the zoom range.
The System Control Panel (SyCoP) puts all major microscope functions at the user’s fingertips, allowing for fast changeover between zoom/focus/illumination functions and displays for total magnification, object field, resolution, depth of field, and Z position. Carl Zeiss has designed the system to meet the ergonomic demands of users working for hours at a time.
The SteREO Discovery.V20 is fully integrated into Zeiss’ modular SteREO Discovery system and compatible with all steREO components. The microscope can be combined with the AxioCam digital camera and the AxioVision image analysis and evaluation software for a powerful, complete image recording and analysis system.
