Smart Microscopy is changing how we acquire images by combining microscopy, image analysis, and computational workflows to make experiments more intelligent to increase efficiency and reproducibility. In this webinar, we will introduce the key concepts behind Smart Microscopy and demonstrate how ZEISS ZEN software can be used to automate imaging decisions, from the no-code Guided Acquisition workflow to advanced scripted applications using the ZEN API.
We are pleased to welcome guest speakers Dr. Lucien Hinderling and Dr. Alfredo Rates, who will share their perspectives and practical experiences with Smart Microscopy in research. Alfredo will discuss how to implement Smart Microscopy in an imaging facility and Lucien will present his approach to building vendor-agnostic workflows.

As a cell biologist with a background in computer science, for his PhD Lucien built real-time feedback control microscopy workflows. With the Smart Microscopy Working Group, he works on interoperability of such systems. Currently, Lucien explores using AI to translate natural-language commands into microscope hardware control and even letting AI run experiments itself, moving microscopy from automation toward autonomy.
