Advanced 3D Analysis

Boost results quickly with AI, even for complex tasks. Annotate slices in your Z-stack to train your model segmentation and classification and then apply it to the whole dataset. Use Machine Learning and Deep Learning operators locally or train models in the cloud and then import them to form the core of your automated pipeline. Visualize results in 3D and create videos for a polished analysis report with a few clicks.

High Content Analysis

Complex disease drug discovery demands advanced image analysis methods such as screening against a broader view of cell or tissue phenotype, scalable from 2D to 4D. Train an AI model using ZEISS arivis software on the cloud or locally, and automate image analysis to save time, reduce human bias, and gain consistent results.

Tracking and Lineage

Quantify cell division and migratory phenotypes, and track changes in 2D and 3D image sets of any size. Use ZEISS arivis Pro VR to accurately proofread automatically generated tracks in an immersive VR environment. Easily reapply your pipeline to more datasets.
