General

Document Type
Images are stored as files (*.czi format) in folders just like in any other Windows application.
All information (metadata) will be saved with the .czi file. When exporting .czi files as .lsm files this
metadata cannot be completely exported. When exporting .czi files as .lsm files, each z-stack will be
saved as an individual .lsm file.
We provide further information about the .czi file format on request. Please contact your ZEISS
representative.
In ZEN there are three ways to access your data:
The File menu
−
The ZEN File Browser
−
Open Images are accessible in the Right Tool Area
−
ZEN File Browser
The File Browser allows access to image data of variable image formats and permits displaying them in
three views:
Gallery View,
−
Table View and
−
Form View.
−
Images can be loaded, copied and deleted within the ZEN File Browser.
The Reuse (see section Dimensions) function is available in the ZEN Image Browser: Hardware
parameters can be loaded without opening the files by clicking the Reuse button.
Images and Documents
In the Right Tool Area the Images and Documents section is displaying the images which are loaded in
the system memory. Double clicking brings the image to the front. Files can be saved and deleted/closed
on this section.
Export
With the Export dialog in the File menu, the acquired data can be directly exported to various file types.
In the Save As dialog in the File menu these formats can also be chosen as file type.
