    Simpler. More Intelligent. More Integrated.

    Fluorescence Images:

    High Speed. Top Quality.

    Now you can digitize up to five fluorescence

    channels using three synchronized high-speed filter

    wheels for excitation, beam splitting and emission.

    Using standard filter cubes it is possible to capture

    up to 9 fluorescence channels. Even so, speed alone

    is not enough. With its sensitive cameras, highly

    corrected optics and perfected light sources,

    Axio Scan.Z1 achieves the best possible image

    quality. The fast LED light source Colibri 7 treats

    your samples very gently. You can switch excitation

    wavelengths in milliseconds and when using triband

    and quadband filter sets, no mechanical compo-

    nents will move in the optical beam path.

    The Modular Tray Concept:

    Allow Your System to Grow

    Decide how many slides, what detection modes

    and what camera you want to use at the outset,

    then retrofit your Axio Scan.Z1 as required:

    as your tasks grow, it grows alongside them.

    The tray design affords you maximum freedom

    with very broad tolerances for the slides, giving

    you the capacity for digitizing specimen slides

    of 26 mm × 77 mm, 52 mm × 77 mm and

    106 mm × 77 mm.

    Reproducible Results Through Automatic

    Adjustment Routines

    Calibrate your Axio Scan.Z1 automatically from

    geometry to color rendition. Your virtual slides will

    be reproduced precisely at any time: comparable

    between systems and over time. Your Axio Scan.Z1

    is designed to generate a high volume of repro-

    ducible data - unattended and over long periods

    of time. You can now add ZEISS Predictive Service:

    expert service technicians remotely monitor your

    system performance. They diagnose component

    status and preventive maintenance can be

    scheduled to your convenience. You profit from

    maximum system uptime.

    ZEN Software: Versatile and Easy

    Advanced imaging software brings real benefits to

    biomedical research, coping with your wideranging

    and complex tasks while remaining easy to operate.

    ZEN imaging software from ZEISS is founded upon

    an intuitive user concept. You define the functions

    for users and user groups according to knowledge

    and responsibilities. ZEN then responds by proposing

    settings and following up with action where appro-

    priate. Smart Setup, for example, provides you

    with an intuitive interface and workflow even for

    complex fluorescence samples. Just choose the

    dyes and ZEN will propose all the other settings.

    That way you can work quickly and safely –

    especially when several peers are accessing one

    device.

    Seamless Imaging: Capture and Process

    ZEN lets you capture virtual slides as well as analyze them and then continue processing the image data –

    all on the one and same platform. A wizard sorts the image analysis functions and you can create an algorithm

    with just a few mouse clicks. ZEN makes your images sharper and smoother, reinforcing contours and contrasts,

    and you can also control brightness and color. Meanwhile deconvolution produces crystal clear images that

    correspond to an optical section, free of out-of-focus light.

    Open Platform:

    Securely Storing Your Images

    You will usually capture a large number of slides

    with Axio Scan.Z1. These images are valuable,

    of course, and you will naturally want to be able

    to evaluate them in future analyses. ZEN works

    with an open and documented interface that lets

    you access your data with your own programs.

    Unlike a closed platform, this means you can

    export the images and continue using the data

    in any way you choose.

    Expand Your Possibilities

    Images with Metadata:

    Ready at the Click of a Button

    In addition to image data, ZEN stores metadata,

    putting away a complete record of all the operations

    in a log file so you can retrieve the data at the click

    of a button. This facilitates documentation and re-

    producibility.

    ZEN lite: Free Basic Software from ZEISS

    Axio Scan.Z1 comes complete with ZEN lite, the

    standard software package for editing and viewing

    your images. You can use the overview screen to

    navigate to your regions of interest.

    Even the labeling area of the slide is always visible.

    Make annotations at will with circles, rectangles,

    lines, arrows, text, contours and profiles. Compare

    up to 16 images and then link them for navigation,

    thus – for example – creating a way to make a direct

    comparison with serial sections. You can process

    the CZI file format from ZEISS as well as images in

    TIFF, JPEG, PNG and GIF format.

    Choose 2D or other views, or use the gallery.

    Use sharpen, blur, geometric functions and color

    adjustments in single and batch mode.

    With ZEN lite, you can carry out simple interactive

    measurements and export your measurements

    (such as lengths, areas and angles) as data tables

    for your spreadsheet program. Rounding off the

    ZEN lite solution are the zooming workspace,

    design schemas for darkened and bright areas.
