Data management using OMERO
How can OMERO help you with data management?
- You can mark your best images with a star to be able to easily find them in a few months.
- You can attach a protocol, an article or a presentation to the images…
- Most importantly the images are in the original format delivered by the microscope, so all the metadata (details of the acquisition) is there. This way, you will always be able to tell which microscope you acquired the images and which laser power you used.
- You can tag the images so that you can later filter all the images you acquired on one microscope or using samples labelled with your favourite antibody… Tagging the images is easy and can be done in batches, when uploading the data.
- 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, including the name of the labelled molecules, the scale bar...
