ZEISS ZEN Bio Applications is a set of standardized image analysis tools integrated into the ZEISS ZEN microscopy software, designed to address frequent analysis tasks in cell biology and cancer research. The toolkit includes four predesigned applications: Cell Counting, Confluency, Gene Expression, and Spot Detection. Each app is tailored for specific routine assays, such as proliferation, survival, scratch assays, transfection, apoptosis, and identification of nuclear speckles or vesicles. The user interface is optimized for ease of use, providing only the necessary controls and immediate visual feedback. Results are automatically displayed in clear, predesigned layouts, supporting both single scene and multi-well plate formats. Data can be easily exported for documentation or presentation purposes. The toolkit is suitable for both novice and experienced users, streamlining routine microscopy workflows and ensuring reproducible, easy-to-read results.
