Request InfoCarl Zeiss Spectroscopy GmbHGOETTINGEN, Germany, June 29, 2006 -- Stereo Discovery V8, a powerful basic instrument from Carl Zeiss for modular stereomicrosopy, is suitable both for routine lab and industrial applications and for advanced research work. The Discovery V8 expands the redesigned stereomicroscope line begun in 2004 with the introduction of the Lumar and Discovery V12. The CL1500 ECO fiber optic, cold-light light source, seen here with a two-arm gooseneck light guide, delivers intensive, infrared-free light to an object with pinpoint precision. Carl Zeiss said the Stereo Discovery V8 is particularly suited for workplaces that require the...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 8/29/2023Automated Optical InspectionThe AOI TR7700 SIII Ultra from Test Research Inc. achieves speeds of up to 60 cm²/sec and incorporates advanced AI algorithms, TRI's smart programming, and metrology measurements for enhanced...Photonics Spectra May 2024 IssueIndustrial Microscopy LED RingThe Model TR.L1 from Titan Tool Supply, Inc. is a specialized 16-LED ring illuminator designed for industrial microscopy applications, including modular toolscopes.
