ZEISS AI Sample Finder

Reduce your time to experiment from minutes to just seconds

Microscopes are becoming increasingly automated. However, sample placement, focus adjustment and identification of the relevant sample areas still require manual adjustments.

ZEISS AI Sample Finder automates this sequence entirely:

Placement of sample
Acquisition of an overview image
Identification of the sample carrier
Detection of relevant sample areas
Focus adjustment for each region of interest

After just seconds, you can access all sample areas directly and start your experiment right away. Here is how it works:

1 | Place your sample on the loading position, the AI Sample Finder automatically moves it to the objective.

2 | The focus is adjusted automatically, and an overview image for fast and convenient navigation is taken within seconds. Composite darkfield illumination creates a high-contrast image even for very low-contrast samples.

3 | Intelligent routines automatically identify your sample carrier, regardless if you use a petri dish, a chamber slide, or a multiwell plate. Carrier properties are automatically transferred to the software, eliminating manual settings (image courtesy of M. Schmidt, Institute of Anatomy, Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus, Germany).

4 | Your samples are reliably identified. Deep Learning algorithms precisely detect even unusual sample regions. You can navigate and access all sample areas directly which allows you starting your experiment faster than ever.

1 | Place your sample on the loading position, the AI Sample Finder automatically moves it to the objective.

AI Sample Finder is part of the ZEISS Axio Observer microscope platform. You are able to upgrade your existing Axio Observer. For more information on how to upgrade or about the platform, get in contact with us via the form below.

See Your Entire Sample - Speed Up Your Microscopy Workflows

A good overview image is the foundation for a detailed analysis. AI Sample Finder enables you to see your entire sample with unmatched speed and ease of use. Forget about assignment issues after image acquisition. You will always know in which sample region your experiment was conducted and how the surrounding environment looked like. With ZEN Connect you can visualize to your data in a higher context combining different imaging modalities.

The overview image provided by AI Sample Finder is ideally suited for navigation and orientation.
