Data management using OMERO

How can OMERO help you with data management?

  • You can start your best images to be able to easily find them later.
  • You can attach a protocol, an article or a presentation to the images.
  • You can link the images to your ELN page.
  • You can review all the acquisition settings since the images are in the original format, so all the metadata (details of the acquisition) is there.
  • You can batch-tag the images (name of the microscope, name of the molecule, etc) and later use filters.
  • Last but not least, OMERO.figure is a fantastic tool to easily make figures for publication. All the channels images are zoomed in the same way and aligned automatically, the name of the channels, annotations, ROIs or the scale bar can easily be added.

Sharing data with KI or external collaborators

Ask the LCI to create an account for your colleagues or your collaborator. We need the name, which group the collaborator should be associated with and the level of permissions (only viewing or able to download or to modify).
