(CDM) and Carl Zeiss
Carl Zeiss (September 11, 1816 – December 3, 1888) was an optician commonly known for the company he founded, Zeiss. Group have announced a partnership between the two companies for the use of CDM's proprietary Wavefront Coding In optics, Wavefront Coding is a method for increasing the depth of field in an image to produce sharper images. It works by blurring the image using a specially shaped waveplate so that the image is out of focus by a constant amount. (TM) technology in Carl Zeiss' products. Both companies will jointly develop and market the technology. The major value of Wavefront Coding technology lies in its ability to allow imaging with a far greater depth of field than is possible with traditional imaging systems. It also allows for less expensive optical designs to perform as well as highly corrected optical systems by using fewer elements and permitting plastic elements rather than glass. "Carl Zeiss is an ideal partner for us," said R.C. "Merc" Mercure Jr., CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of CDM. "This agreement with the industry leader underscores our commitment to the optics industry and enhances the credibility of this revolutionary product." With a broad spectrum of optical instruments and experience in digital imaging for a multitude of applications, Carl Zeiss is a world leader in the optical and opto-electric industries. Through the partnership with CDM, Carl Zeiss will have the ability to expand and increase the quality of products currently offered to its customers. "Wavefront Coding has the potential to greatly enhance a wide range of imaging systems," said Dr. Augustin Siegel, manager of central research, Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany. About Carl Zeiss Group Headquartered in Oberkochen, Germany, and with U.S. headquarters in Thornwood, N.Y., the global player Carl Zeiss is a leading international group of companies operating in the optical and opto-electric industries. It offers technologically advanced solutions for the areas of semiconductor technology and industrial optics, the life sciences, eye care, industrial measuring technology, and sophisticated products in the fields of consumer and sports optics. The company is directly represented in more than 30 countries and runs production centers in Europe, and North and Central America Central America, narrow, southernmost region (c.202,200 sq mi/523,698 sq km) of North America, linked to South America at Colombia. It separates the Caribbean from the Pacific. . In the 1999/2000 fiscal year, a global workforce of approximately 13,000 people achieved a sales figure totaling just under DM 4bn (Euro 2bn).
