The ZEISS Advanced Reconstruction Toolbox (ART) is a modular, workstation-based software platform designed to enhance the performance of ZEISS X-ray microscopes (XRM) and microCT systems. ART leverages artificial intelligence and advanced algorithmic approaches to address complex imaging challenges, such as improving image quality, increasing throughput, and reducing artifacts. The toolbox consists of several optional modules, each targeting specific reconstruction needs, including deep learning-based image reconstruction, artifact reduction, and enhanced contrast for low-density samples. ART is continuously updated with new algorithms and workflows, allowing users to access the latest innovations in X-ray image reconstruction. The software is suitable for a wide range of research and industrial applications, supporting both repetitive and non-repetitive workflows, and is compatible with various ZEISS X-ray platforms. ART modules are available in flexible packages, enabling users to tailor the solution to their specific imaging requirements.
