Electronic Zoom

The Discovery.V12 and V20 feature an electronic zoom system with over 7,000 supporting reference points, ensuring highly precise movement of the internal zoom optics. The motorized zoom enables free, fine-tuned positioning with exceptional accuracy and repeatability—greater than 99% across the zoom range. This level of precision makes the V12 and V20 ideal for research and quality control laboratories, where consistently scaled images are critical for accurate measurement and documentation.

Stereo or Axial Mode

Carry out precise measurements on microscopic images by observing objects perpendicularly and without any parallax. The Discovery series allows for both stereo viewing as well as on-axis viewing for documentation. When sample manipulation and high quality imaging is a requirement of your lab, the Discovery series is a perfect fit for your lab.
