ZEISS | ZEN core - for materials science applications

The comprehensive software suite for connected microscopy from the material laboratory to production

ZEN core offers more than just microscopy imaging. It is the most extensive solution for imaging, segmentation, analysis, and data connectivity in multimodal microscopy in connected material laboratories, going beyond conventional applications.

• Simple configuration and easy operation - thanks to customizable user interface
• Advanced imaging and automated analysis
• Connected laboratory

One interface for all ZEISS microscopes in a multi-user environment

From stereo microscopes for beginners to fully automated imaging systems, ZEN core provides a unified user interface for all ZEISS microscopes and cameras. It allows you to work in multimodal workflows and correlate light and electron microscopy. Moreover, you can access imaging and analysis data across systems, labs, and locations.

Advanced imaging and automated analysis

ZEN core serves as your command center for setting up automated imaging and analysis functions of compound light microscopes. With integrated automated workflows for image acquisition, it ensures a consistent, advanced, and repeatable workflow.

Furthermore, ZEN core provides automated image analysis segmentation based on machine learning algorithms, as well as other analysis functions such as phase analysis and particle counting.

Infrastructure solutions for the connected laboratory

ZEN core provides the infrastructure for connected laboratory environments, bringing together all your ZEISS imaging and microscopy solutions in a unified, familiar user interface. This allows you to obtain maximum information about specimens or material samples. The graphical user interface is specifically designed for material analysis and is available on all ZEISS light and electron microscopes with motorized sample stages.

Harnessing limitless possibilities made easier

ZEN software is the comprehensive solution for all microscope users. It is continuously developed and equipped with additional features for new applications in materials research, including automated intelligent imaging, intuitive image analysis, and cloud-based data management. However, the wide range of features makes the ZEN ecosystem increasingly complex. The latest version of ZEN therefore provides simplified options to better utilize the software's many features. Many ZEN modules offer great synergistic potential and are commonly combined for specific application purposes. Based on this idea, packages have been assembled that include all essential software functions: You now receive new module packages for acquisition, toolkits, and use cases tailored to your experiments. Compared to individual modules, the packages offer significant price advantages, allowing you to get more value out of your investment.
