Bio-Formats – a translator of different file formats

By |2025-08-11T10:35:08+02:00September 16th, 2022|

Translating Bioimaging File Formats with "Bio-Formats" The Open Microscopy Environment Consortium has created the so-called Bio-Formats library (Linkert et al., 2010, J Cell Biol) to enable the translation from a large number of proprietary file formats to the OME data model, generating OME-TIFF as a potential output file. Most files generated at the vendor-specific [...]

Basics of Imaging File Formats

Bioimaging File Formats explained A computer's most basic unit of information is a simple distinction between two states: on or off. This is represented as a binary digit (or bit) with a value of either 1 (on) or 0 (off). To store more complex information, multiple bits are combined. For example, [...]

Digital images in bioimaging for beginners

By |2025-08-11T10:33:01+02:00June 9th, 2022|

Digital images for beginners How does the computer store a microscopy image? Photographs and microscopy images are recordings of real-world objects acquired with imaging devices. A microscopy image is thus a representation of the real object based on experimental setup and the device used (i.e., not "the" reality). The light that was [...]

Introduction to the Research Data Life Cycle

By |2025-08-11T08:44:38+02:00May 2nd, 2022|

Your Content Goes Here Research involves data. To ensure the success, effectiveness, and sustainability of a research project, all aspects of handling the research data should be carefully planned. Data generated in one research project can be a valuable resource for other researchers working on different research questions, but also for follow-up research projects of [...]
