Zeiss SteREO Discovery Series
Sophisticated Stereo Microscopes

The pancratic magnification changer of the microscope body forms the core of a zoom stereo microscope and, consequently, has a considerable influence on the optical performance of the entire system. With the SteREO Discovery, Carl Zeiss has proven all its experience and competence, and has driven this system of common main objective (CMO) stereo microscopes to the limits of what is optically feasible. The SteREO Discovery.V12 and V20, with their maximum NAs of 0.144, are among the most powerful stereo microscopes in the world.
