Zsigmondy needed new types of optical instruments for his experiments. At the Schott laboratory, he had a hand in designing and constructing such instrumentation. Siedentopf joined the laboratory in 1899, and there he and Zsigmondy created the ultramicroscope. The Carl Zeiss Company, also in Jena, manufactured and sold the instruments.

Figure 3.28 Ernst Abbe, who developed the Abbe sine condition—a design specification derived from wave theory for ensuring good image quality in microscopes. He also transformed the Zeiss optical company into the Carl Zeiss Foundation in 1889. The greatness of this company was not only in the quality of its optical products, but equally in the care it took of its workers at a time when exploitation and oppressive poverty were the rule.

In 1889, he established the Carl Zeiss Foundation, and two years later he transferred to the Foundation his ownership of the optical works and his half-share in the glassworks. By so doing, he gave up his position of owner to become one of the team of four managers who governed the company according to the statutes. ... 

Antireflection coatings were first invented for lenses in 1935 by Alexander Smakula (1900 1983) at Carl Zeiss Optics Company. They were a German military secret during the early stages of World War II. 

Otto Schott (1851-1935), Ernst Abbe (1840-1905), Carl Zeiss, and Roderick Zeiss established the Glastechnisches Laboratorium Schott und Genossen, which later became the Jenaer Glaswerk Schott und Gen and in 1952 the Schott Glaswerke. This company is now the leading European glass company. 

Stereomicroscope and light source. A stereomicroscope with adjustable magnification and good depth of field, and a fiber optic light source are necessary for visualizing oocyte injections and nuclear dissections.We use a Leica MZ8 scope with a 0.63-5.0 x (or 8-fold) zoom equipped with a Voipe fiber optic light system. Comparable microscopes and illumination devices can be obtained from companies such as Carl Zeiss, Wild, or Nikon. 

In the late nineteenth century. Dr Ernst Abbe and Dr Carl Zeiss worked together to create one of the world s foremost precision optics companies. The Abbe principle resulted in observations about measurement errors.
