ZEISS ARAMIS 1
Seeing the whole picture.
ZEISS ARAMIS 1 is an optical measurement system used to capture strain, displacement, and deformation in three dimensions. Its stereoscopic camera technology enables non-contact measurement of deformation during quasi-static tests — including tensile, compact tension, and 3- and 4-point bending tests, delivering full-field data where traditional strain gauges and extensometers fall short.
The all-in-one optical sensor
ARAMIS 1 combines two metrology-grade cameras into a single, factory-calibrated sensor head. Set it up, align it to your specimen, and start measuring — no point-by-point instrumentation, no surface contact, no gauge length limitations. You see the entire specimen surface, every test, every time.
Key benefits
- Powerful measurement capabilities — captures 3D strain, displacement, and deformation in a single test.
- Non-contact — no glue, no gauges, no influence on the specimen.
- Superior measurement range — from microstrain through ultimate failure, on the same setup.
- Stability & robustness — built for daily use in materials labs and test cells.
- Certified performance — traceable accuracy you can defend in reports and audits.

The perfect match — ARAMIS 1 + ZEISS CORRELATE
ARAMIS 1 is driven by ZEISS CORRELATE, the digital image correlation (DIC) and point-tracking software that turns raw image data into full-field strain and displacement results. Upgrade to ZEISS CORRELATE Pro for parametric workflows, reusable templates, and dedicated apps that standardize testing across your team.
Why customers choose ARAMIS 1
Strain gauges give you one number at one location. ARAMIS 1 gives you the whole picture — every point on the specimen, every frame of the test — so you can see exactly where, when, and how your material fails. It's the fastest path from a test specimen to validated material data.
