OME   says 👋

OME is a consortium of universities, research labs, industry and developers producing open-source software and format standards for microscopy data. If you are working with bioimaging data like these:

then you may already be using something from OME! (You can find out more about these images on https://idr.openmicroscopy.org.)

Projects you may be interested in:

  • OME Model GitHub stars At the core of everything we do is the specification of an open data model, a vocabulary, that lets software components and users exchange bioimaging (meta)data.
  • Bio-Formats GitHub stars is a library translate hundreds of bioimaging formats into the common model.
  • OMERO GitHub stars is a data management platform that uses Bio-Formats to serve all supported formats to your users, through:
  • OME-NGFF, next-generation file formats. See:
