Omero
Open-source software and data format standards for storing and manipulating biological light microscopy data.
What is Omero?
OME (Open Microscopy Environment) is an open-source project that develops software and data format standards for biological light microscopy data. It provides tools and specifications that enable researchers to store, manage, analyze, and share complex microscopy imaging data in a standardized way. The project addresses the fragmentation in microscopy data formats and analysis tools that has historically hindered scientific collaboration and reproducibility.
Biological researchers, microscopy facility managers, bioinformaticians, and software developers working with light microscopy data who need standardized tools for data management and analysis.
Developers choose OME because it provides comprehensive, community-vetted standards and tools specifically designed for microscopy data, ensuring interoperability between different microscopy systems and analysis software. Its open-source nature and strong academic/industry collaboration ensure long-term sustainability and continuous improvement.
Overview
OME (Open Microscopy Environment) develops open-source software and data format standards for the storage and manipulation of biological light microscopy data. A joint project between universities, research establishments and industry in Europe and the USA, OME has over 20 active researchers with strong links to the microscopy community. Funded by private and public research grants, OME has been a major force on the international microscopy stage since 2000.
