How ZEISS Digital Classrooms work

A ZEISS Digital Classroom – consisting of connected ZEISS microscopes, tablets or PCs, and the imaging software Labscope – enables you to create an engaging, personalized learning environment for your STEM classes. Improve the quality of your teaching and increase student satisfaction by being able to interact with your students in exciting new ways that were not possible before.

See, Share & Discuss

See, share, and discuss live images from all connected microscopes

See live images from all connected microscopes at any time and from anywhere in the room. Observe how your students are doing in real-time. Stream images from any microscope onto the wall or a TV screen and discuss what students are seeing with the whole class. As you move freely around the room, 'lecture & listen' becomes 'show & see'.

Create Customizable Learning Experiences

By sharing and discussing their results, students learn easily from each other and experience learning success in a playful way. Connected microscopes offer an interactive, digital platform which increases attention and interaction between the students and lecturers.

As a teacher you can opt for Labscope Teacher to get additional functions for organizing and managing your lectures. Upload and share lecture files via a shared folder and stream videos or a presentation to their devices during class. Your students can upload images or videos too and report on their results. The (deactivatable) Chat function lets you collect and answer questions.

Collaborate & Assist

Collaborate and assist your students during class

With the imaging software Labscope, your students can measure, annotate, and save images and videos of their microscope with all metadata and a separate annotation layer. Give real-time feedback to your students. Are they looking at the right structure and acquiring the right kinds of images? Alter and correct camera settings remotely, where needed. By giving fast, efficient feedback and making it easier to use the microscope, you can focus your time on interpretation and analysis of what is seen under the microscope.
