Carl Reichert was born on December 26, 1851 in Sersheim, Germany and died on December 12, 1922 in Vienna. Reichert was an optician who established one of the principal microscope manufacturing firms in Europe in the late 19th century.
Reichert married into the Leitz family in 1874. In 1876 in Vienna, he founded the Optische Werke C. Reichert. He employed some Leitz technicians, explaining one reason that his products were so similar to those of Ernst Leitz of Wetzlar.
Among other things, Reichert designed new lenses, lighting equipment for microscopes, a heating microscope (1909), and one of the first microscopes for the study of metal surfaces.
By 1900, the company had produced 30,000 microscopes.
Although Reichert instruments are usually signed \"C. Reichert, Wien,\" the proper name of the firm was \"Optische Werke C. Reichert.\" The firm was partially sold to American Optical in 1962 and fully taken over in 1972.
