September 1847: With skill, experience, vigor, and ideas of his own, Carl Zeiss starts making microscopes on his new premises at Wagnergasse 32. These are simple microscopes, consisting of one lens only and intended mainly for dissecting work. During the first year, Zeiss sells as many as 23 of them, an indication that they do well in comparison with other makes. Nevertheless, they undergo many improvements during the following years. Encouraged by this early success, Carl Zeiss soon sets about a more demanding task - the production of compound microscopes. These consist of two optical elements: an objective and an eyepiece.
