ZEISS ZEN Connect
Overlay and Organize Images from Any Source.
Connect All Your Multimodal Data to Expand Correlative Microscopy
Often, to fully understand your sample, you will need to combine multiple microscopy technologies or contrasting techniques.
Say you are wanting to understand synaptic ultrastructure in context with their brain region. Or assessing whether inclusions in a material sample are metallic. Or determining which particles are critical when analyzing the technical cleanliness of your processes.
In these cases and many others, a single microscopy method is not always enough to answer all your questions.
You can address some of them with correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM), a field which ZEISS Microscopy has pioneered in recent years. Correlative microscopy combines the flexibility and large fields of view of light microscopes with the analytical power and nanometer resolution of electron microscopes. Now, with ZEN Connect, you can take that next important step and bring all of your imaging technologies together – ZEISS or not – to answer your scientific questions. ZEN Connect lets you combine multiple perspectives of your sample across scales and imaging modalities.
Simply acquire an overview image of your large sample on any low magnification system, then move to your confocal or electron microscope and align. Just once. You’re now set to use ZEN Connect with the overview image for navigation and all subsequent images will automatically appear in context. Or you can simply use ZEN Connect to align and overlay images from any source.
Your multimodal data is saved in well-organized projects with intuitive image labels. ZEN Connect always shows your data in context – you get unique insights, gain efficiency and save time.
Highlights
Overlay and Align All Your Images
Expanding classic correlative microscopy, ZEN Connect is open to all your images: you can load complex multidimensional images as easily as simple overview images from your mobile phone. It makes no difference whether your imaging technology is from ZEISS or from third parties. All image data can be aligned, overlayed and shown in context. So long as your external images adhere to the well-established Bio-Formats standard, ZEN Connect will even keep their metadata.
Acquire Overview Images for Easy Navigation
Image your sample with a ZEISS stereo microscope or any other low magnification system. Then move to your high-resolution system of choice. With ZEN Connect you only need to align it once, then use the overview image to navigate and find your ROIs. All subsequent high-resolution images will be shown in context as you zoom in and out across the borders of resolution domains and imaging technologies. A single click on the overview image brings your stage to the right position to examine or re-evaluate any of your ROIs with the full image overlay.
Smart Data Management
All the images you acquire with ZEN Connect are saved in well-structured database projects, complete with an intuitive label attached automatically to each image file. You'll always stay on top of things – during your experiments as well as months afterwards when analyzing your work. It's easy to find all your overlay images and their connected datasets. You can even search for microscope type and imaging parameters with the new filter function of ZEN Connect.
Application Examples
