ZEN offers the functionality to export image data as an MRC file which makes it compatible to the software application SerialEM and available for TEM users. This export is available for z-stacks and multi-channel images with all the common pixel types (8/16 Bit, 32 Bit Float, RGB 24/32/48). Tiles, time series, multi-scene images, and images with unprocessed data or special dimensions are not supported. For images with more dimensions, you can use the image processing function Create Image Subset to extract a single image or stack and then export it with this function.
The export creates a MRC file as well as a NAV file, which contains regions of interests (e.g. points, rectangles, polygons,...). The NAV file can be loaded in the SerialEM software and it then loads the MRC file, so that the image with the respective regions is shown.
