The rise of a global company - From the microscope to the moon landing | DW Documentary

- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2022
- 175 years ago, the young mechanic Carl Zeiss opened a small workshop for precision mechanics and optics. These humble beginnings in the German city of Jena were the foundation of the Zeiss technology company, which today operates worldwide.
The production of glass with game-changing optical properties was one of the developments that helped Carl Zeiss create a company that valued scientific research highly, while never forgetting science’s social impact.
Zeiss microscopes have been used by more than 30 Nobel Prize winners. To this day, these instruments offer unrivaled image resolution, with lenses that can display structures one thousand times smaller than a human hair. Light microscopes allow living cells to be examined with extreme gentleness and speed, as well.
The Zeiss company was involved in the moon landing in 1969, and thus helped redefine the limits of what humans are capable of. Images of the historic event were captured using Zeiss camera lenses developed specially for space. These lenses were key to the later development of photolithography, which plays a decisive role in the production of microchips. Developments in extreme ultraviolet lithography led to Zeiss winning the German Future Prize together with the Fraunhofer Institute and the Trumpf company.

An absolutely brilliant look at the history and future of a company that the entire world depends on daily.
A competent documentary on one of the many leading optical firms.
Carl Zeiss a brand that has a huge contribution in science as well as now in AI too. ZEISS was the first lens manufacturer to develop a method for measuring a lenses' image quality using MTF (modulation transfer function) curves. And now in the world of photonics too.
The Rise of a Global Company - From the microscope to the moon landing | DW Documentary 1715PM 19.6.22 ANYONE WHO ENJOYS PHOTOGRAPHY MAY ENJOY THIS OR SOME SUCH WORDS.... p.s i allus thought it was hasselbald that supplied the equipment for the photography associated with moon and space travel...
I got to know Zeiss when Nokia launched camera with logo Carl Zeiss Optics. Even though I never heard of them but still felt that Zeiss must be master of the crafts of optics.
I had the Nokia N8. The camera was years ahead. Nokia also released a 40MP phone when apple was at 5.
Even I came to know bcauz of Nokia.
Very insightful documentary that does not shy away from the more distasteful aspects of the company's history. Phenomenal work DW!
Without CarlZeiss new chips would not possible they are the only company that know to make lenses for lasers
Zeiss is truly a German gem...
Wow that was another excellent production DW.. You're outstanding.. Keep up the amazing work...
I use their coordinate measuring machines daily in the heavy duty Diesel engine manufacturing field. Excellent excellent equipment!
Such a great documentary. Thanks DW and Zeiss.
amazing, brilliant look over one of the modern companies' history. This is a light documentary which you can watch when you are on your way to improve your language and also learn something new about the world so thanks a lot for your efforts and the variety of videos
Thanks for watching.
Amazing to know the rich history of Zeiss. Thanks for this 👍
Thanks to Carl Zeiss, more bad movies are made with greater clarity than ever before.
🤣😍🤤
😀
lol
Ha!
Great documentary, thanks DW
Vielan Dannk DW.
Für dies Documentry.
Its much more than Camera Lenses.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
Is about honoring the genius Karl Zeiss and informing the world about the benefits of wisdom.

Great series waiting for next Ep. Keep making DW👍
Thank you! We're glad you liked the documentary.
Excellent documentary. Thank you DW.
Thanks for watching.
awesome documentary!!
Great content as always!
Superb...just Fascinating
What am excellent documentary!! I was blown away! Well done! 👍
Thanks for the positive feedback. We appreciate it.
My experience with them was with a fluorescence microscope. Fairly reliable, as I recall.
3:20 Humble beginnings and organizational consolidation.
8:15 Wartime exploitation and division.
15:55 Current developments: beyond the Abbe diffraction limit.
Zeiss is a high quality brand that amateurs and professionals alike used when they wanted some of the best! It doesn't matter if you were a Nikon user or a Cannon user. It didn't matter if you had a microscope in you business, lab or home. Nor did it matter if you were an amateur astronomer/astrophotographer or a professional in an observatory. If you want consistent quality, Carl Zeiss is a "go-to" brand for optics.
Canon.
I have worked with Zeiss cameras and lenses most of working life and always found there equipment very high quality and innovative a great company
thanks for your sharing!
Thank you for watching!
My dad had a German WW2 spotting scope/ranging device that was made by Zeiss and it sat outside for my whole life and was such an impressive piece of engineering. When my dad sold his house a few years back the buyer had the condition it had to include the spotting scope. I was so bummed!
Thanks for this expose. ❤️
My first investment as a DOP was a Zeiss lens kit for 7k. It defined my career. Zeiss is gold.
The Asianometry report is worth watching too.
Amazing documentary, ZEISS has really changed our world and AI, beyond imagination.
truly amazing brand
i use a Carl Zeiss scope on my Weatherby Mark V magnum rifle whenever i go hunting in Alaska and Canada….the very best of the best of the best..!
Awesome historical documentary.
Thanks for watching.
@@DWDocumentary Thanks for making this.
Hats off for the founder and the reserchers of carl ziess , what a great contribution for the human kind🙏🏽
As a materials scientist, I use Zeiss microscope to reveal the microstructure of different materials. I didn’t know the history of this microscope. Interesting documentary.
I have a Zeiss Mini Quick 5x10 monocular which is very portable and I actually use it for astronomy despite the tiny light grasp.I was looking at the globular cluster, M13,in Hercules with it a few weeks ago on a camping trip rather satisfying to see an object 22180 light years away in such a tiny device.Although the Andromeda Spiral Galaxy,M31, at 2.5 million light years is pretty easy in it although you can see that with the naked eye and it is the most remote object visible with the naked eye.Who knows I might get to use it in Germany if I finally manage to get to the Efiel Dark Sky Park and/or Fulda Dark Sky City in 2022 obviously later in the year as I doubt that it gets very dark there at this time of year.
I’ve had a mini quick for maybe 20 years. I don’t use it that often, but your comment has reminded me of it. I think it was $80 when I bought it, I see they are $200 now. I have used it as a pocket microscope too.
I read somewhere that even during the Great War the British kept trading with Germany to get Zeiss optics. It was just deemed that strategically important. Two nations locked in total war but BTW can we buy some lenses off of you? If that doesn't speak to the quality then I don't know what does.
Carl zeiss is pioneer in optical instruments in world. It is unchallenged.
Thanks and love ❤ 😍
Wow never heard of this dude. What a story !
Zeiss is the go to for high grade optics. There are a few other excellent optics makers but
Zeiss is still considered the best.
full respect to Carl Zeiss, wish more success to Zeiss
Danke Zeiss
50+ years ago I got into photography and purchased an Alpa SLR that had an Zeiss lens.
Awesome minds
The extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machine used in the production of computer chips which was demonstrated in this documentary, is in fact manufactured by ASML and not by Carl Zeiss. Carl Zeiss supplies the optical systems used in ASML’s machines, in particular the highly complex and expensive projection lens. However, this documentary seems to imply that the lithography machines are the products of Carl Zeiss, which is erroneous.
With out Zeiss EUV would be extreamly dificult its Zeiss 170 years of experience thst makes it posible to make the optical parts of EUV posible on the scale ASML can make them.
Joint development between ASML, Zeiss and Phillips but Zeiss does indeed make the EUV lithography part (EUV source and multilayer optical mirror systems for directing and focusing the EUV beam)
Doesn't matter much, ASML and Zeiss both are insane.
It's like DW knows which documentaries I want to watch.I always wanted to know about Carl Zeiss when I first heard about their partnership with the Dutch company ASML.Thank you DW for this informative documentary about Carl Zeiss.
As someone who works with Zeiss eyewear products, I can say that it’s unlike anything else out there
Still waiting for a digital Zeiss ikon rangefinder....a classic
Grate documentary.
I really in joy it👏👌👍
The great science of Zeiss
Good
I j watch this story with respect about Mr. Carl Zeiss vision has achieved today
Legend 😎
I just watched a video about zeiss group on asianometry and then this dropped !
One of the greatest companies of all time. Carl Zeiss.
Children going gaga over tech companies would never know.
Great stuff. One day I'll win the lottery and be able to afford it.
It should be mentioned that the Zeiss electron microscope line was acquired from Leica which in turn was Cambridge Scientific specialty.
8:59 i actually live in jena and got to do with some people working at zeiss, some of their children and grandchildren, I heard the story ( I can't tell if it is just a myth or fact) that to protect some of their machinery they deconstructed them and took the parts home and after all that brought it back to continue the work
Okay when are you gonna make 24-105mm f1,2 for full-frame?
High tech from my home town
Jenaer
I came to know about Zeiss only when I brought my latest eyeglasses last year. Most expensive eyeglasses 👓 I bought till date.
I wanted more info about their excellent binoculars 😕
Delicious!👍💯
When i was a biology student we use to fight to get the Zeiss microspcope they performed way above the averege.
Nokia N series phones introduces me to Carl Zeiss and I work as a part time photographer. I owe you one man.
Lot of spam comment
Seems the culture is always their target
ich habe nur einen kleinen Teil herauskopiert...
Jena glass (German: Jenaer Glas) is a shock- and heat-resistant glass used in scientific and technological applications, especially in chemistry. The glass was invented by Otto Schott in 1884 in Jena , Germany , where he had established Schott AG with Ernst Abbe and Carl Zeiss . [1
what do they have to do with cooking ware? today? i suppose there is not one kitchen in Austria or Germany, and we have them even here in Russia, that does not have at least one piece of - ovenproof - glassware. or is there one more episode of THAT from Deutsche Welle somewhere around?
where did the video on burnout go?
Infenion says hello !
the eye of the world.
Great Reportage - however ...You missed some vital facts about ZEISS-IKON and Carl ZEISS (N.B.: these are TWO different companies after the 2nd WW), that the first camera in space was a Stuttgart/ZEISS-IKON built 35mm CONTAREX Special with suberb Carl ZEISS Wide-Angle Biogon benn taken onboard Gemini 5 space mission - which was used for the first "space walk" ever by Astronuat Ed White at the time at 1965... and of course- NONE of all this pictures of the moon with the Hasselblad ZEISS Planar and Sonnars would be possible without the genious of the ZEISS-IKON lens designer Dr. Ludwig Bertele /Munich - who desinged the epic/ -world famous SONNAR lens -which lives in various copies in todays NIKONs and CANONS on - facts to be missed here !
This world need more someone like zeiss,not those greedy politicians
The company that showed us the minute world
In Wetzlar is Zeiss or Giessen
Lichtman: a name predestined to work on an application of optics.
Didn't Carl Zeiss Jena produce photolithography steppers for the Warsaw pact nations?
Impressive in the extreme--well done DW, but that's not new.
Not sure what the editor was thinking about by focusing on the hands at 16:13!
Interesting documentary. Enjoyable story. Are there any conclusions about the critical factors that lead the the company's technical success? Wisely, the producers didn't try to directly answer that question as it would have required giving up the feel good narrative. However, that would be fascinating analysis, Was it the protestant ethics, the government support (Nazi, communist, liberal democratic ?), the founder's spirit? And, exactly how profitable (or not) has the company been over the years?
Zeiss owns "itself" and does not need to publish financial figures.
The world will always be thankful to Germans for their marvellous engineering. love from india.
I will need support from other companies for my microchip fab like BASF, Trumpf, Siemens, Carl Zeiss, Rontgen (Siemens Healthineers) with my invention, we can achieve this goal and many other technological breakthroughs in the future.
Just for explanation: Siemens Healthineers should change the name to 'Rontgen' as respect of honoring the genius Wilhelm Rontgen.
Oh, great. Im from Viet Nam. Im a Carl Zeiss fan.
👍👍
Imaging a brain is very simple. You need to freeze it and then shave off a few microns at a time taking images every time you do it.
Great science fair project! Just use a cheap or free rodent, a couple of dry ice blocks, a flatbed scanner and some sandpaper!
Zeiss might want to partner with or invest in Canada's leading quantum photonic startups at QIC,. Quantum Industry Canada.
Ich Liebe Jena. Carl Zeiss F.C
Hilly Student City Jena
Wooooooo
Without this company semiconductors cannot be made
Español sub please
German Genius..
16:43
Zeiss (🇩🇪) competitor is Leica (🇩🇪)
🧡💚💙
Our civilisation is a gift unto us which should be well regulated before it becomes extremely harmful.
daily i walk to my office after view of thi company
Thank God for the Protestant work ethic 🙂
How does Zeiss protect its IP from the predatory copiers out there?
By being impossible to match and keeping ahead.
@@zinjanthropus322 agreed but even if they get to 90% of the current tech, which they smuggle out, they build ecosystems that can support their expansionist ideas.
@@striker44 That sets them back. They're trying reproduce old designs as Zeiss moves ahead to better things.

Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?
Germans are quite innovative in hardware innovations
Great discoveries happen, life quality improves when mankind looks for answers and invests in science, education and NOT in reciting old religious books (no matter what religion they belong to). No answers there. Just constant fight who is more “true”.
Imagine if great scientist of the day were not burned at the stake, not persecuted and suppressed. Where would mankind be now?
