We have been an innovative technology leader in the field of optics and precision engineering for the past 150 years.
Time and time again, we set the pace in the design of devices for seeing and measuring by the implementation of sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology. We increase and enhance the capabilities of our optical instruments by combining them with high-performance electronics.

Customer orientation is central to our corporate policy.
With the quality of our products and services, with our expertise and innovative strength, we ensure total customer care at all times. Our product spectrum includes diamond-machined laser mirrors as well as telescope mirrors for astronomy.
Our electron microscopes permit the resolution of nanometer structures; optical systems suitable for use in space allow the observation of stars and the earth. With a line of products covering many measuring systems with different designs,
Carl Zeiss is the world leader in the field of industrial metrology.

For over 20 years now, we have been developing and producing high-resolution lithographic optics for wafer steppers. The performance of these lenses determines the rate of progress in the field of processors and memory devices.

We devote special attention to improving vision: in microscopy, microsurgery and ophthalmology. Zeiss^® binoculars and camera lenses are famous the world over. However, this does not mean that we forget about products for use in everyday life - such as glasses or contact lenses, for instance.
