{"id":445,"count":41,"description":"Carl Friedrich<\/strong> Zeiss (1816-1888)<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nCarl Friedrich Zeiss was born on 11 September 1816 in Weimar, a city in the German federal state Thuringia. He was the fifth child in a family of twelve children, and was interested from childhood in physics and technology. In 1849, he married Bertha Schatter, who died a year later during the birth of their son, Roderich. In 1853, he remarried Ottilie, with whom he had two daughters and a son. Carl Zeiss died on 3 December 1888 and was buried in Jena.\r\n\r\nZeiss was apprenticed to Friedrich K\u00f6mer in Jena. Afterwards, in 1846, at the age of 30, he established a workshop and shop in Jena (Neugasse number 7) for precision engineering and optics. As well as simple microscopes, he also sold other scientific instruments, including as balances. Thanks to the excellent quality of his microscopes and his connections, Jena University became his first regular customer.\r\n\r\nMedical doctors and scientists were, however, more interested in compound microscopes than simple ones, because of the higher magnification. As he was unsatisfied with the time-consuming production process, Zeiss brought in Ernst Abbe (1840-1905) from Jena University. Abbe advised separating the production of the objectives from that of the mechanical parts. Abbe\u2019s theories about imaging in microscopy and the \u201csine condition\u201d and his innovative approach to tools for\u00a0 microscopy resulted in fundamental improvements in Carl Zeiss microscopes and lenses.\r\n\r\nErnst Abbe became co-owner, and retained the company name after Zeiss\u2019 death in memory of his friend. which meant the foundation of the development of the present Zeiss empire. The company prospered until the partition of Germany after World War 2 when the company split also split into Carl Zeiss Jena and Zeiss Opton. It was not until 1990 that the two companies reached an agreement to merge into a single foundation again. Since then, Carl Zeiss has become one of the largest and most respected optical firms in the world.","link":"https:\/\/stichtinghistorischemicroscopie.nl\/en\/category\/zeiss-en\/","name":"ZEISS","slug":"zeiss-en","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nZEISS Archieven - Stichting voor Historische Microscopie<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/stichtinghistorischemicroscopie.nl\/en\/category\/zeiss-en\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ZEISS Archieven - Stichting voor Historische Microscopie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Carl Friedrich Zeiss (1816-1888) Carl Friedrich Zeiss was born on 11 September 1816 in Weimar, a city in the German federal state Thuringia.
