(Carl Zeiss: Munich, Germany) -- Light Lab, the first accompanying app for ZEN 2011 imaging software from Carl Zeiss, is now available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Light Lab supplements the ZEN 2011 controlling and image-processing software functions within the experimental lab workflow. The app supports the configuration of fluorescence experiments in both confocal and light microscopy. Users can also access all Carl Zeiss product brochures, social media channels, and microscopy activities. Light Lab utilizes information on the current location and notifies the user of the closest contact person for support and service.

Light Lab consists of different modules. The first module, Spectra Viewer, simulates the parameters of a fluorescence microscopy experiment and tests the compatibility of dyes and selected microscope components. There are more than 500 different dyes available to users. Dyes, light sources, and filters can be freely configured.
