ARAMIS 1
Entry-Level 3D Optical Testing
Compact single-sensor DIC for standardized material testing. Tensile, compression, shear, and bend tests.
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.

Industries: automotive, aerospace, materials research, electronics, medical devices, academic and government labs.
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.

Questions
ARAMIS 1 FAQ
Is ARAMIS 1 only for small specimens?
It is optimized for coupon and small component work on a load frame, which is where most material characterization happens. For larger parts or variable measuring volumes, look at ARAMIS Adjustable 12M or 24M.
Can it replace our video extensometer?
In most laboratory tensile work, yes, and it gives you the full surface rather than one gauge length. Our comparison against extensometers covers the trade-offs. If you specifically want a drop-in non-contact extensometer, see XiGage.
How is this verified for audit-ready reporting?
Through the t.Cert workflow in the Trilion Automation Suite, which verifies the system against a NIST-traceable t.Check gauge block and produces automated pass and fail reports aligned to ASTM E83-25.
Can we rent this or have Trilion run the test?
Yes to both. System rental covers short programs and evaluation, on-site measurement puts our engineers on your test, and offsite lab services run it in our lab. On-site training is available when you want the capability in house.
