V20 Discover Series

Discover Microscope is extraordinary equipment, which used to perceive our surroundings in 3D is one of evolution’s most impressive masterstrokes. It is one of the best microscope with high quality zoom factor lenses with electronic zoom curves provide you with significantly sharper three dimensional images and previously unattained levels of contrast.

The stereo microscope is an optical microscope variant designed for low to high magnification observation of a Diamond, typically using light reflected from the surface of an object t rather than transmitted through it. The instrument uses two separate optical paths with two objectives and eyepieces to provide slightly different viewing angles to the left and right eyes. This arrangement produces a three-dimensional visualisation of the Diamond being examined.

Features

  • Motorized 20:1 zoom
  • Seamless integration into the modular system of SteREO microscopes
  • Up to 345x total magnification with 10x eyepieces
  • Maximum resolution of up to 1000 LP/mm with PlanApo S 2.3x objective
  • Motorized and encoded components for reproducible results
  • Illumination and contrast methods based on cold light or LED

1A in 3D: Spatial impression :

With stereo V20, higher magnifications can also be realised with smaller lenses thanks to the large zoom range of the microscope body. The smaller stereo angles associated improve the 3D impression of the microscopic image. The result: you remain more relaxed during observation and notice even the smallest details.

Secure the highest magnifications:Stability

High image resolution and end magnification place new demands on the stability of the stand system of this stereomicroscope. All relevant components were designed and built according to the most modern methods. The stands feature a significantly higher rigidity and is considerably less susceptible to vibrations than previous systems. The motor focusing makes fine focusing in intervals of 350 nm in a range of 340 mm for loads of up to 17 kg possible.

Increase free space: Zoom factor 20:1

The largest range from overview to detail – stereo Discovery.V20 has brought a new zoom range into the research laboratory. And what’s more: even the basic configuration of this top stereomicroscope offers an end magnification of 150x. Equipped with the nosepiece S. cod as well as the objectives PlanApo S 0.63x, PlanApo 1x and Plan Apo S 2.3x, stereo Discovery.V20 covers a magnification range from 4.7 to 345x. That is a factor of 73! With only one turn of the nosepiece.

Technological Factor

  1. Before the assembly begins each lens is exactly calibrated against a “0-lens type”. This lens value is digitally saved in a data pool – the basis on which computer-calculated combinations are established. By doing this, an optimally coordinated lens family is developed for every individual microscope.
  2. Rotating reflexes of a lens. As soon as it is in the circle
  3. A moveable micro clapper of the computercontrolled glue leveling machine autonomously undertakes the fine alignment.
  4. After being moved into place, the lenses are immediately fixed. Precision tools automatically lay high-precision, uninterrupted glue beads through a strong cannula 0.5 mm wide.
  5. Hardening of the glue beads under UV-radiation.
  6. In the pancrat adjusting device, the precise procedures of all moveable optical elements are programmed. To do this, around 7000 supporting points are analyzed via computer. In doing so, each stereomicroscope obtains its own correction – its own individual zoom control curve.

SYCOP 3

Third generation of the System Control Panel - you are using a compact, modern and handy control unit for convenient and save operation of complex stereo and zoom microscope systems. Patented by ZEISS.

scope-sub-img

The joy stick is used for zooming and focusing. A click is all it takes to switch to controlling the motorized stage and move the specimen in the X-axis or Y-axis direction.

The display is used to control other functions and obtain information regarding the device’s status.

EMS Controller

Just as with your computer mouse, you only need a single hand to quickly, reliably, and intuitively control all the important functions in your microscope when using SYCOP 3. Consequently, you do not have to look away from your specimen at any time.

Manual Stand

Use vibration-resistant, rigid stands to unlock resolutions of up to 1,000 LP/mm with your powerful stereo microscope.

Motorised Stand

Motorized stands provide excellent rigidity and precision coupled with speed and reproducibility.

Co-observation Configurations

Co-observation configurations enable two people to see an identical stereoscopic specimen image at the same time - with the same level of optical clarity - making these attachments perfect for your discussions and examinations.

Optics

V20

There’s a new performance standard in the demanding world of stereo-microscopy: Zoom Factor 20. The factor for the largest spectrum between overview and detail magnification. And a research instrument with which the pioneer of the CMO principle (Common Main Objective) has once again broken new ground for the future of stereo-microscopy after the telescope principle. The development of the stereo V20 has exceeded the limits of conventional modes of action. Founded on a new technological base and integrated into the stereo* generation series from Carl Zeiss, stereo V20 is highly impressive and boasts a superior performance profile.
