Inside View of Carl Zeiss
Scenes from the German home of the famous optics maker.
By John Zent
The small boy in me will forever think adventure when he sees the name "Zeiss." That was the name on the field glasses brought home by my uncle from his service in the Berlin Airlift. They were also the same glasses that he slung 'round my neck during groundhog hunts on the family farm. Last fall my adventures took me to mountains and prairies far from home, yet once again I was using Zeiss binoculars, and the wonder they brought into focus proved enticing as ever.
Over the years, I've learned there is a lot to making great binoculars. Optical theories must be translated into mathematical formulas, and that math guides engineers who design parts and create the tooling used to manufacture those parts.
