  Molecular Expressions: Science, Optics and You - Timeline - Carl Zeiss
Carl Zeiss was a famous German instrument maker who lived during the nineteenth century and founded Carl Zeiss, Inc., one of the world's leading manufacturers of optical microscopes and related equipment.
Zeiss had a poor formal education in the theory of optics and it is quite impressive that he was able to achieve such a high degree of skill in microscope design and construction simply by trial and error.
Zeiss continued to modify and improve the microscope, and in 1861 he was awarded a gold medal at the Thuringian Industrial Exhibition where his designs were heralded as "among the most excellent instruments made in Germany".
