Smart Acquisition Toolkit Expand Smart Microscopy Possibilities and Increase Image Acquisition Efficiency.
With ZEISS‘s portfolio, you can master imaging in 3D and in time, and in various scales of resolution. To harness the full potential of smart microscopy, the Smart Acquisition Toolkit offers software tools to run comprehensive and guided image acquisition sequences and feedback microscopy workflows.


Brilliant Display of Individual Objects
Smart microscopy for rare event analysisAccurate research requires differentiated data. Guided Acquisition inspects sample images: A fast overview scan, intelligent detection of individual objects and relevant details in high resolution, supported by workflow automation and Machine Learning. With ZEN’s Smart Acquisition tool, even rare events quickly deliver brilliant results.


Combine Acquisitions With Experiment Designer
Efficient workflows for getting the most out of each experimentZEN‘s acquisition setup enables complex acquisitions with tiling, stacks, time series and many more. If the default options are not enough, the Experiment Designer offers even more flexibility by creating multi-block sequences of freely adjustable acquisitions, loops and time delay blocks.

Acquisition Fine-Tuning With Experiment Feedback
Interface for dynamic adaption of your experimentDo you want to conduct smart fine-tuning for your acquisition already while imaging? With Experiment Feedback you can modify key acquisition parameters such as laser power, exposure time and many more, all during or in-between single acquisitions. With this tool you can use image analysis on-the-fly to obtain optimal image data with feedback microscopy from the start.
Smart Acquisition Technology Insights
The simplicity of guided acquisition workflowsGuided Image Acquisition of Rare Events
Detect dynamic events with unprecedented precision and efficiencyRare Events Focused Acquisition
Obtain less, but more specific dataScientists may be interested in phenomena that occur so rarely within a sample such that scanning the whole sample becomes unfeasible. With Smart Acquisition you can find your rare event by analysing the image, and subsequently acquiring the part of the image which contains a rale event with high-resolution in space and time.
Integration of AI-Driven Analysis
Advanced analysis tools for excellent event detectionCutting-edge analysis tools are available in the smart acquisition workflow. Including ZEISS arivis Cloud, in which you easily train your own AI models for image segmentation.
Fully Automated Rare Event Detection
Screening experiments are accessible with smart acquisitionThe guided acquisition workflow allows for full automation to detect and collect rare events in unattended long-term experiments. For example, working with samples in multi-well plates in a screening setting.
