Image & Reconstruct
Understanding the relationship between structure and function in the human brain is the goal of brain mapping. This builds the basis for a new field of scientific research called connectomics: The attempt to physically map the tangle of neural circuits of the nervous system.

Specifically to enable the acquisition and analysis of high resolution cell images and soft tissue images, Carl Zeiss has developed an extensive range of specialized solutions, based on advanced electron and ion-beam microscopes.

ATLASTM ORION® (HIM)
More Information
High Resolution extreme field of view imaging is now possible through super sampling frame store images of up to 32 thousand x 32 thousand pixels.
More Information
Non-destructive imaging of biological samples with extreme material contrast and complete charge control becomes possible with the ORION Helium-ion microscope.
