OPTICAL TREASURES FROM THE PAST AND
PRESENT – PRECIOUS, INNOVATIVE, FASCINATING
1. Modern instrument-making industry is equipped with a great variety of optical instruments. There is not
a single branch of industry able to function without a great number of high quality precise instruments both op-
tical and mechanical. Modern optical devices should give our scientists an opportunity to look into the mystery
of the microstructure. Up-to-date optical devices serve a purpose of visual observation and photography of re-
mote objects placed at hundreds and even thousands of miles away. Opto-electronic transducers are inseparable
components of modern automatic lines.
2. It is only by optical methods and by making use of special optical systems that one makes precise meas-
urements of distances with an error of 0,2 micron. Up-to-date optical instruments are made of a great number of
complicated mechanical, optical and electronic units. Every unit in its turn is to be constructed out of tens and
hundreds of the highest quality parts.
3. The products and the name Zeiss enjoy an outstanding reputation all over the world. The history of the
company Carl Zeiss is full of examples of extremely successful interaction between experimental science and
instrument manufacture. The Carl Zeiss trademark has a long and varied history. To fix a trademark firmly in
the memory of customers, users and other partners, it is not enough simply to get a particular corporate color or
to specify where exactly the company logo should be positioned. One vital aim is to make it clear to the world,
that the Carl Zeiss Group is a single entity with a single appearance.
4. Carl Zeiss (1816 – 1888) is the German industrialist who gained a worldwide reputation as a manufac-
turer of fine optical instruments. In 1846 Zeiss opened a workshop in Jena for producing microscopes and other
optical instruments. Realizing that improvements in optical instruments depended on developments in optical
theory, he engaged as a research worker Ernst Abbe, a physics and mathematics lecturer (later professor) at the
University of Jena, who in 1866 became Zeiss's partner. They engaged Otto Scott, a chemist, who developed
about 100 new kinds of optical glass and numerous types of heat-resistant glass. After the death of Zeiss, Abbe
donated the Zeiss firm and his share in the glassworks to the Carl Zeiss foundation. In 1923 Schott added his
share in the glassworks to the foundation. In 1945 US forces evacuated the board of management and about 100
scientists and technicians of the Carl Zeiss firm (Jena) to West Germany, where it was firmly reestablished.
Later the Zeiss workshop was transformed into an industrial enterprise which now is a world leader in optics.
5. In the mid – 1880s Ernst Abbe developed the apochromat microscope objectives and used the mineral
fluorite. These objectives were indeed one of the most important innovations in the field of microscope design
and of special significance for the transformation of the Zeiss workshop into a powerful industrial enterprise.
Notes: opto-electronic transducers – опто-электронные датчики (преобразователи); apochromat mi-
croscope – апохроматический микроскоп; mineral fluorite – минеральный флюорит.
