Reference Lab for the Nanometer Range

Carl Zeiss repeatedly redefines the limits of contact and optical measuring technology

OBERKOCHEN/Germany – April 14, 2009.Carl Zeiss recently opened a special, new measuring lab with state-of-the-art equipment in Oberkochen where it will measure micrometers and nanometers with maximum precision. As a reference lab, it is used to calibrate ZEISS measuring machines and standards, and for measurements on behalf of customers. It is also a demo room for high-end measuring technology. Under very special conditions, the specialists there work with the best measuring machines Carl Zeiss has to offer. The air temperature of the lab with its own air conditioning system must not deviate from the standard temperature of 20 degrees Celsius by more than 0.1 degree Celsius. The entire measuring lab from Carl Zeiss has been accredited by the German Calibration Service as a linear measuring center for many years.
