Services & Tools
We offer services that support the bioimaging community in implementing FAIR data practices. From consultation and guidance to infrastructure- and workflow-related support, our services and tools help researchers and data stewards address practical challenges in everyday bioimage data management.
Self-service platforms & tools – get started immediately!
Bioimage Analysis Desktops
Bioimage ANalysis Desktop (BAND) and Bioimage Analysis Research Desktop (BARD) are platforms that offer cloud-based desktops accessible with a web browser. So you can comfortably analyze your bioimage data with high computing power from anywhere with an internet connection.
Galaxy Tool Integration
Learn how Galaxy serves as a platform to run bioimage analysis workflows from your microscopy data using a variety of software tools and workflows without any need of installations for you.
JIPipe
JIPipe is a free and open source visual programming language also for non-programmers built on ImageJ that allows the creation of fully automated image analysis pipelines by just drawing a flow chart.
OMERO Services
OMERO is a powerful open-source platform to securely store, organize, visualize, collaboratively access and share microscopy images and metadata. We offer access to OMERO instances including extensive example datasets across microscopy techniques and biological samples through various open OMERO instances.
Training Material Hub
The NFDI4BIOIMAGE Training Material Hub is a rich, FAIR-aligned hub of open research education material that covers microscopy data and metadata handling, bioimage analysis, and research data management. It includes hundreds of curated basic and advanced resources for you to explore and reuse.
Research Data Management Organizer
Use our RDMO client to easily create your own Data Management Plan, making use of bioimaging-specific templates for major funding bodies (DFG, Horizon Europe).
