Biological Imaging Data Management for Facility Managers

New

The Open Microscopy Environment (OME) is an open-source software project that develops tools that enable access, analysis, visualization, sharing and publication of biological image data.

OME has three components:

• OME-TIFF, standardised file format and data model;
• Bio-Formats, a software library for reading proprietary image file formats; and
• OMERO, a software platform for image data management and analysis.

In this one day course, we will present the OMERO platform, and show how Facility Managers can use it to manage users, groups, and their microscopy, HCS and digital pathology data.

Help pages on 'Using OMERO for Facility Managers' can be found here.

This course is organized alongside a one day course on Biological Imaging Data Management for Life Scientists. More information on this event are available here.

This course will be delivered by members of the OMERO team. The OME project is supported by BBSRC and Wellcome Trust.

Please note that if you are not eligible for a University of Cambridge Raven account you will need to book or register your interest by linking here.

Bioinformatics, Biological imaging, Data management

After this course you should be able to:

• Create and manage OMERO users and groups
• Import, manage and share image and HCS data
• Use OMERO with 3rd party applications and plugins to analyse data
• Use OMERO web plugins to organise and publish data
• Gain an awareness of the range of 3rd party applications available
