ZEISS microscope - The pinnacle of optical technology

Overview of ZEISS company

History begin

The company was founded by beautician Carl Zeiss in 1846 in Germany. Initially, ZEISS produced optical instruments for many different industries, including microscopes. Today, ZEISS has grown strongly across four main areas: research and quality, healthcare, vision care and consumer products, as well as semiconductor manufacturing technology.

Advanced technology 

ZEISS is always a pioneer in applying the most advanced optical technologies to its products. ZEISS research and quality technologies include metrology, microscopy, and spectroscopy, all of which require high quality and advanced image processing algorithms. 

ZEISS's semiconductor division provides optical technology for high-precision semiconductor manufacturing equipment such as lithography printers, used to build SoC chips.

Introducing some ZEISS microscope models

ZEISS Stemi 508 multifunctional stereo microscope

The Stemi 508 is equipped with optical and mechanical mechanisms designed for heavy and continuous workloads. The glass is designed to help deliver sharp, high-contrast images. 8:1 zoom allows users to magnify up to 50 times. In particular, the glasses have a low viewing angle of 35° to help you work all day comfortably.

Common applications:

- Regarding electricity - electronics: Check the quality of circuit boards, contacts, electronic circuits, cracks, warping or solder joint quality such as lack of solder paste.

- Mechanical processing: Check the surface of processed products for scratches, cracks, pores, surface deformation, or burrs.

- Medical equipment and watches: Check appearance and assembly joints between small parts with high accuracy.

ZEISS Smartzoom 5 smart digital microscope

Used for quality control and assurance in virtually every industrial field. Quick installation, easy operation, fully automatic and equipped with in-depth analysis software. Smartzoom 5 is the optimal solution for product inspection and error analysis.

Typical applications:

- Visual inspection & automatic report generation: Inspect parts and details of different sizes, at different viewing angles. Images are detailed, clear and high resolution.

- Check sample surface morphology: Check and evaluate surface errors due to friction or abrasion, create 3D images of sample surface, measure the size of undulation height and hole depth on the product surface.

- Check metal surface structure and metallographic analysis: Inspect, analyze and record metal cracks or cross-sections of metal and steel samples, detecting the root cause of surface damage surface, characteristics of the microstructure such as layer thickness, grain size, impurities, etc.

ZEISS Axioscope 7 professional compound microscope

- Designed to meet the most common optical imaging requirements in materials laboratories. Automated features are suitable for routine tasks that require high image quality and reproduction.

- Axioscope is the optimal solution for industrial metal and materials sciences, with functions to determine grain size, phase and layer thickness as well as to classify graphite particles. Analyze your sample using established contrast techniques.

Application:

- Metallurgical analysis: Check particle size and distribution, quantify the crystal structure of the material according to international standards. Phase analysis, determination of phases according to particle size and surface area percentage, check for porosity on the surface. 

- Standards-based automated workflow solution including sample collection, impurity classification and impurity assessment, results recording and archiving.

- Product cleanliness analysis: Product cleanliness plays an important role, especially in component manufacturing fields, such as electrical components or the automotive industry. If contamination occurs at spots sensitive to dust particles, this can quickly lead to functional impairment or even failure.

Some frequently asked questions:

What advantages does ZEISS microscopes have compared to other brands?

- Outstanding image quality and high durability thanks to the advanced optical system that helps users observe the smallest details. Suitable for many different uses, from scientific research to product quality control.

Product selection criteria:

- How much magnification do you need to observe the specimen?
