ZEISS Guided Workflow Teaser_scientist close-up
AUTOMATED MICROSCOPY WORKFLOWS · ZEISS GUIDED WORKFLOWS

Take the manual work out of microscopy.

ZEISS builds automated workflows for labs that process high volumes of samples, from sample loading and image acquisition to AI detection, expert review and reporting. Your instruments acquire automatically. AI finds and prioritizes. Your experts confirm.

THE CHALLENGE

Manual review is the bottleneck.

Today, every sample you process likely depends on trained staff to set up acquisition, search images for something small and sparse, and record results manually. That works at low volume. It breaks as volume grows.

 

  • Blue volume growth icon

    Volume outgrows reviewers

    More samples mean more hours from trained staff. Turnaround times get longer, or headcount has to the team has to expand  with demand.

     

  • Blue target icon

    Rare targets get missed

    Searching large areas for small, sparse objects is tiring. Fatigue and time pressure lead to mistakes.

     

  • Blue 2 results icon

    Results vary by person and site

    Different reviewers make different calls. Keeping results consistent across shifts and locations is hard.

     

  • Blue sample prep icon

    Acquisition is hands-on

    Loading samples, setting up scans and adjusting settings for each run ties up skilled time before any analysis starts.

     

  • Blue thumbs icon

    Expertise is hard to scale

    Training a reliable reviewer takes time. When experienced staff leave, their judgment leaves with them.

     

  • Blue data cloud icon

    Data lives in separate systems

    Imaging, analysis, review and reporting sit in different systems, so traceability depends on manual hand-offs.

     

What changes

From fragmented manual screening to one traceable path.

What success looks like

What one high-volume testing laboratory reported after moving from manual review to an automated ZEISS workflow.

  • Under 50% icon graphic_blue

    Lower operational expenses.

    Compared with their prior manual review.

  • Greater than 20% test throughput icon graphic_blue

    Higher test throughput.

    More tests processed, compared with manual review.

  • Less than or greater than 3 year icon graphic_blue

    Return on investment.

    Time to recoup the investment in the automated workflow.

* Figures a high-volume testing laboratory reported versus its prior manual setup, in a production deployment. Your savings depend on sample type, volume and workflow. We'll model them with you in the workflow assessment.

  • Blue sample magnify icon

    Detect more

    Systematic, exhaustive search of every field, not a sampled subset.

  • Blue measure data icon

    Consistent results

    Standardized workflows across operators, shifts and sites.

  • Blue LIMS icon with settings

    Fits your existing tools

    Tailored to your samples, assay and the systems you already use.

HOW IT WORKS · ONE ZEISS SOLUTION

One click: sample in, report out.

ZEISS provides the complete workflow backbone under one roof: the imaging systems, the automation software, the AI analysis and the expert support, configured for your sample, your target and your decision.

ZEISS-provided workflows

Three ways to start. Built around your target.

Every ZEISS workflow is configured for your sample, your target and your decision. These three show where labs often start; they are examples, not the limit of what we automate.

Beyond the examples

Built for targets no one has automated yet.

If a trained person can recognize it in an image, the search can likely be automated, even when no off-the-shelf AI exists for it: a mold spore, a contaminant in a food sample, a lesion on a plant leaf. ZEISS brings the backbone to build it and the expertise to support it, from one partner.

 

Tell us what you're looking for

The ZEISS co-development approach

Built with you. Proven on your samples. Then scaled.

Every lab's samples, targets and decisions are different, so we don't hand you a generic product. We build your workflow with your team and prove it on your samples before it scales.
