description

More than 20 research teams have won Nobel Prizes with Zeiss equipment. The first in the list of "Zeiss Nobel Prize winners" was Robert Koch. He received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1905. He used ZEISS microscopes to discover the bacteria that cause tuberculosis and cholera in the 1880s. In 2014, the trio of researchers John O'Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser received the Nobel Prize. To discover the so-called "grid cells" of the nervous system, the scientists used various light and stereo microscopes from ZEISS. Get a brief insight into the work on site and the role of ZEISS in it.
