The software suite is available for ZEISS EVO, Sigma, GeminiSEM, and Crossbeam families.
ZEISS has introduced its ZEN core software suite for operating all ZEISS scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), including focused ion beam scanning electron microscopes (FIB-SEMs).
ZEN, which stands for ZEISS Efficient Navigation, is designed to support microscopists in acquiring and managing imaging data. Users in fields such as materials research, natural resources, electronics, and life sciences can carry out microscopy workflows suited to their laboratory needs. The software facilitates image acquisition, analysis, and data organization.
ZEISS ZEN core now includes basic control of SEMs and FIB-SEMs. Both non-experts and experienced professionals benefit from the integration of SEM imaging and EDS analytics, as well as enhancements in AI-based workflows. FIB-SEM users can maximize throughput reliably by using the fully automated TEM lamella preparation.
ZEN core enables end-to-end workflows by seamlessly integrating ZEISS light microscopes and SEMs, allowing users to easily operate their instruments and conduct multi-modal experiments through a single, intuitive, and streamlined graphical user interface (GUI).
More efficiency with Navigation Workspace
ZEN core presents a unique concept featuring a central Navigation Workspace, allowing for easy navigation and intuitive operation.
The Navigation Workspace is designed to guide user workflows. Users can easily access essential electron microscopy (EM) control parameters through the top navigation tools, gaining a comprehensive overview of the entire sample holder and all samples. Additionally, they can collect acquired data in an image gallery while simultaneously controlling their live image.
More flexibility with customizable workbenches
Users can create task-specific workbenches that display only the controls necessary for routine workflows, guiding operators through a defined sequence of tasks. This functionality ensures data repeatability and reliability, particularly in multi-user environments and for inexperienced users.
A software suite for connected microscopy
ZEISS ZEN core enhances laboratory productivity by providing a solution that connects data from different microscopes. This connectivity delivers more meaningful insights from correlative, multi-scale, and multi-modal experiments.
With robust database connectivity features, ZEISS ZEN core enables users to keep their data organized across instruments, laboratories, and locations, facilitating efficient data management and retrieval.
Streamlined and simplified SEM workflows
Whether users are conducting routine image acquisition or advanced analysis, ZEISS ZEN core maximizes technical performance while providing an intuitive and configurable interface that grants access to all parameters and functions.
The software suite is now available for the ZEISS EVO, Sigma, GeminiSEM, and Crossbeam families.
