With the Guided Acquisition module for ZEN core you can setup automated jobs to acquire images (overview), detect relevant objects (image analysis) and re-image these positions, using another tiles acquisition e.g. with higher magnification.

Guided Acquisition Workflow:

  1. Scan or inspect a large area or the whole sample.
  2. Perform an analysis to detect interesting objects.
  3. Acquire detailed images for every detected object.

A possible application is to detect sparse inclusions in a material. Guided Acquisition allows you to find these inclusions in a low-magnification overview scan using image analysis. Afterwards, at the detected positions high-magnification images are acquired.
