Eliminating fungal infections with the help of ZEISS microscopes Customer Story Fungi live inside each and every one of us: they can appear on our skin, our mucous membranes, our nails and even in our guts. Fungi are harmless – in fact, they even form part of our body’s natural flora. But if our immune system is severely compromised, fungi... Read more
Using microscopy to identify new materials Knowledge Cornerstones of the materials paradigm New materials demand to be lighter, faster, stronger, smarter, and more durable. Satisfying and exceeding these complex needs will ultimately define the infrastructure and devices of the future. In this endeavor, characterization techniques represent a key link that tie together the cornerstones of... Read more
ZEISS microscopes support assisted reproductive technologies Customer Story In an average class of 30 children, there is one child who was not conceived naturally. Artificial insemination is the only way for some couples to have their own child. Conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF), also known as test tube fertilization, is regarded as the most well-known... Read more
Looking inside structures of failed devices and finding out why they failed Customer Story In 2018, manufacturers are making chips with feature sizes down to 10 nanometers, which is about 10 thousand times smaller than the width of a single human hair. Making smaller chips with increased performance is complex. Chip manufacturers are using new... Read more

Research reveals meteorites found in Sudan in 2008 are remnants of lost planet In December 2008 a first meteorite fragment was discovered close to a train station called Almahata Sitta – “Station Six” in Arabic – and thus the meteorite was named. Scientists have long theorized that many more fledgling planets once circled the sun... Read more
