Description1847 "Praepariermikroskop" First simple microscope for Trichinella detection by Carl Zeiss Jena (7039026859).jpg
September 1847: With skill, experience, vigor, and ideas of his own, Carl Zeiss starts making microscopes on his new premises at Wagnergasse 32 in Jena. These are simple microscopes, consisting of one lens only and intended mainly for dissecting work. During the first year, Zeiss sells as many as 23 of them, an indication that they do well in comparison to other makes. Nevertheless, they undergo many improvements during the following years. www.musoptin.com
