Optics

When it is about a microscope, lenses are one of the most essential parts of it. At Vision 360, as we never settle for anything else than the best quality and consistency, we develop instruments made with the highest quality and state-of-the-art technology. And for this, we have been associated with the most leading optic lens manufacturer Zeiss. With an association of more than a decade with this forerunner brand, for us, it is these attributes that always can make success. And therefore, we strive to give our best to clients. We develop instruments made with the highest quality and state-of-the-art technology.

We have always been a step ahead when it's all about technology. With the introduction of Greenough-type stereo microscope by Zeiss, Vision 360 procured it as we believe in walking with the technology. The Greenough-type stereo microscope gives you crisp 3D impressions, adaptable object illumination, and effortless sharing of images whenever one wishes. This microscope is useful for easy specimen handling and large to view the field. Solid, maintainable and easy to use, this specimen is perfect for the analysis of diamond and gemstone.

Greenough Stereoscopic Design

The basic idea behind a stereoscopic microscope is simple. It was formulated in 1896 by the biologist Horatio S. Greenough, who wanted to see small biologic samples magnified, but with the same quality as with unaided eyes. In other words, in three dimensions and with all the depth informa on he needed to understand the irregular shape of his specimen intuitively. He reckoned you could build a microscope with two separate beam paths facing the object from two directions, exactly as human eyes do when observing a small object at a distance of 250 mm. The brain would fuse the two images together and produce a spatial image of the object with a high degree of depth perception. This thinking led to the first factory-produced stereo microscope being developed by ZEISS.

Stemi 305 is a Greenough-type stereo microscope, combined with a continuous 5:1 zoom. It uses long working distances for easy specimen handling and large fields of view. It's compact, rugged, easy to use and easy to maintain, making it especially well-suited for intensive use in applications such as classrooms, where users frequently change, or by three-shift industrial inspection teams.
