In 2021, ZEISS donated two Primo Star microscopes with mounted Axiocam cameras to White Plains High School, the neighboring school to ZEISS North American Headquarters.

Here's what the teachers had to say:

“The ZEISS equipment is an incredibly valuable resource – It helps kids feel like they’re getting authentic science at a time when it's a challenge to do so.”
Dr. Margaret Hawthorne Doty, Coordinator of Science and Engineering

  

“Many of my students are already on health science career paths. Putting these types of tools in front of them at the earliest possible stage does a lot of good.”
Omar Sharif – 9th grade

“With this tool, whether participating in virtual labs or using microscopes in school, all students will be seeing and observing the same thing.”
Jorge Gonzales – 9th grade

  

“The high resolution microscope images provide a much more vivid view to help them identify characteristics. Students could pass them along, share samples, and have advanced images to put in their documentation.”
Cissy Johnson – 9th & 12th grade

The successful implementation of the microscopes at White Plains High School is what led ZEISS to create the SCOPEs Grant opportunity.
