Material Modules
Metallography and Material Inspection
How to improve routine metallography tasks? How to deal with new materials? How can you avoid user bias and keep your laboratory efficient? Instead of just buying features, with ZEN core you get the full productivity package to take your materials investigation to the next level. Image Credit: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH
ZEN Intellesis
Automated Image Segmentation
ZEN Intellesis applies the power of machine learning to the task of segmenting multi-dimensional images, including 3D datasets. Images that had to be processed manually can now be analyzed automatically, by training ZEN Intellesis to segment them for you. Image Credit: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH
Non-Metallic Inclusion Analysis (NMI)
Ensuring Steel Quality
Steel is one of the most common engineering materials. Despite their small size, non-metallic inclusions in steel can affect its mechanical, processing, and corrosion properties. ZEN Non-Metallic Inclusions is your solution for rapid, reliable NMI analyses according to industry standards. Image Credit: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH
ZEN Connect
Images and Data in Context
With ZEN Connect, you can visualize different microscopy images and data from the same sample—in context and in one place. Discover the correlations between micrographs at different scales. Benefit from integrated reporting across the connected datasets. Image Credit: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH
GxP Module
Secure Microscopy Processes
Recent scandals in automotive or the oil and steel industries have highlighted the consequences of wrong or even falsified data. The GxP module makes all your analyses traceable and therefore compliant with regulation and certification requirements. Image Credit: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH
ZEN Data Storage
Central Data Management
ZEN Data Storage enables centralized management of microscope presets, workflows, data, and reports—from different systems and locations. Separate microscopy imaging from post-acquisition processing to allow everyone in the lab to work more efficiently. Image Credit: Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH
ZEISS ZAPHIRE Offline Evaluation
