Open Microscopy Environment (OMERO) for microscope data
With the web-based, Open Microscopy Environment software OMERO, you can manage your images in a secure, central repository. The data can be viewed, organized, analyzed and shared from anywhere. The software is ideal for processing microscopy data in the life sciences.
An overview of key features:
- Using the web application
- Access on desktop application (Windows, Mac, Linux)
- Using an API for linking individual clients
- Support for over 150 image file formats (including the most common microscope formats)
- Implementation on a high-performance infrastructure with scalable resources
- Broadband access to the research data on the SDS@hd storage service
The service is based on the Open Source software OMERO and is hosted at the University Computing Centre. All data will remain on university servers. This service is operated and managed by the Research Data Unit, a joint institution run by the University Library and University Computing Centre which provides centralized services for archiving and publishing research data.
Target Group
- Researchers
- Students
- University employees
