Volume EM#

Volume Electron Microscopy (vEM) includes a number of techniques for imaging large volumes of biological samples at high resolution. The OME-NGFF specification caters for this kind of big data nicely, and there are a number of resources that build upon OME-Zarr to provide additional support for vEM data.

Tools#

  • WebKnossos - A web-based platform for visualizing, annotating, and sharing large-scale volumetric datasets. It has native support for OME-Zarr and is widely used in the vEM community.

  • VolE - Allen Institute for Cell Science’s viewer for large-scale volumetric datasets, with native support for OME-Zarr.

  • Neuroglancer - Google’s WebGL-based viewer for volumetric data, with first class support for OME-Zarr.

  • SyGlass - A proprietary virtual reality platform for visualizing and analyzing large-scale volumetric datasets, with support for OME-Zarr.
