Software on Zen

Carl Zeiss Zen

Zen is currently running Zen 2012 Sp2 version 11.0.3.190. The copy on this machine is an offline licence linked to the Elyra. It has analysis modules relevant to that machine. The most important being probably: PALM analysis, PALM 3D analysis and SIM processing. It is also able to perform linear unmixing of spectral imaging data from Zeiss confocal microscopes.

If you need to process Airyscan, FRAP and FCS data from the Multiphoton microscope the modules for that are only on the Deep Thought analysis computer; not on Zen.

 Microsoft Remote Desktop incompatible. If you launch Zen through RDP then it will open only the Lite version and the advanced analysis tools will not be available
