What is the NBO-Q Microscopy Glossary?

This repository contains a Microscopy Glossary developed in the context of QUAlity and REProducibility for Instruments and Images in Light Microscopy (QUAREP-LiMi). and in close collaboration with the 4D Nucleome (4DN) initiative , the Quality Control and Data Management Working Group of Bioimaging North America (BINA), the Open Microscopy Environment (OME) initiative and other national and international bioimaging initiatives.

This glossary is built to extend and augment the 4DN-BINA-OME (NBO) Microscopy Metadata Specifications which were recently published on a Nature Methods FOCUS issue on Reporting and Reproducibility in Microscopy.

The NBO Microscopy Metadata Specifications are a suite of scalable extensions of the OME data model thare being continually developed in the context of QUAREP-LiMi by incorporating feedback from different stakeholders in the community, including microscope manufacturers, custodians and users.

Features

  • Community driven

  • Centered on Rigor and Reproducibility

  • Maximize Educational value

  • Focus on Usability by all biomedical researchers regardless of imaging expertise
