Description1896 Greenough-type Stereo Microscope by Carl Zeiss Jena (6892932332).gif
Ernst Abbe meets Horatio S. Greenough, an American biologist. Of course, they cannot help talking shop. Before long, the discussion is focused on a seemingly utopian idea: the construction of a stereoscopic microscope. Utopian? The idea is born under a lucky star. The American visitor draws a promising sketch on a sheet of paper. That's it. Around the turn of the year, Greenough's invention has taken shape as a ZEISS product: the first stereomicroscope ever.
