Micro-Meta App is available at the BioImage DMS Core to capture Microscopy Metadata
The BioImage DMS Core can help you take full advantage of the Micro-Meta App to ensure rigor, reproducibility, and sharing value for your microscopy data. Do not hesitate to contact us so we can help you get started.
Micro-Meta App is an intuitive and interactive, open-source software tool providing a visual approach for extracting OME-compatible metadata from image data using BioFormats and document microscopy acquisition based on NBO-Q community-sanctioned Microscopy Metadata specifications.
Micro-Meta App can adapt to varying levels of imaging complexity and evolving data models emerging from the community.
Micro-Meta App works both as a stand-alone app and as an integrated resource in web repositories, including OMERO.
In addition, the visual nature of Micro-Meta App makes it particularly suited for training purposes.
Top (A and B): The Manage Instrument section of the Micro-Meta App builds standardized graphical records of microscope hardware components. Here, the Micro-Meta App is used to describe the TIRF Epifluorescence Structured Light Microscope (TESM; Navaroli et al. 2012), which was custom-built at UMass Chan Medical School. Bottom (C and D): The Manage Settings section of the Micro-Meta App builds graphical records of individual lightpaths used for acquiring given images. Here, DAPI channel of the image in D is illustrated. Figure adapted from: Rigano et al., 2021. Nat Methods https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-021-01315-z.
