Driving Impact
Through Software
The NavX Mesmer software was developed to streamline the operation of the ZEISS Xradia microscope, an advanced X-ray system for high-resolution, 3D imaging of internal structures in materials like semiconductors and electronic systems, all without causing sample damage. This technology is essential in fields such as materials science, life sciences, electronics, and geology, enabling the capture of micro- and submicron-scale details.
This project required extensive knowledge transfer between design, research, and engineering teams, as well as collaboration with our partners at ZEISS and co-partners, Clarity and Presence.
Rebuilding an entire software platform from the ground up was a significant challenge, particularly as it needed to accommodate users with varying levels of expertise, from beginners to advanced professionals, each with unique UI and UX requirements.
The design process was meticulously informed by research insights, covering user journeys, wireframes, UI/UX concepts, component libraries, quality assurance, and ultimately, the final delivery.
The ZEISS Versa imaging system precisely locates and captures regions of interest for investigation, takes 360-degree tomography images, and reconstructs them into highly detailed full 3D images.
Throughout the process, we used the research to develop user flow prototypes and a systematic workflow. This essential step guided discussions and decision-making, leading to the final design and workflow refinements.
The impact of this project extends beyond its immediate scope; we are incredibly proud to have influenced Zeiss' culture, design, and engineering processes. This will continue to empower the Zeiss team to excel in the development of future iterations of not just the NavX Mesmer software, but a range of software systems.
