A.KRÜSS microscopes ensure an authentic setting
For the realization of a scene, acting as well as masks, costumes and stage design requisites are very important. Apart from large objects, such as cars, it is often also a small, carefully selected film requisite that makes a scene look really real.

This is why our quality microscopes are more and more used at Hamburg film shootings. The newest case for example is the ARD three-part documentary: “The Secret of the Forest of the Dead”, broadcast on: December 2nd/5th & 9th at 8:15 p.m.
The films tell the story of a criminal case that has remained unsolved for almost thirty years.

The plot: In the summer of 1989 Barbara Neder (Silke Bodenbender) disappeared. She is the sister of the high-ranking Hamburg LKA boss Thomas Bethge, played by Matthias Brandt. For a long time this case remained unclosed. Even after his retirement, the LKA boss continues to investigate the disappearance of his sister and comes on to the track of a suspected serial killer.
It becomes thrilling …
