Yep, it lags a little. But still quite impressive considering that each "pixel" is a 150 MPixel multires image. Overall the total number of 'adressable' pixels in this 2D image are 225x225x150 Mpix = 7.6 Tera pixels. #ImageJ #Fiji #BigDataViewer
Rewrote my Python bioformats wrapper (from aicsimageio/bioio) as a standalone package:
- fully bootstrapped Java setup (just pip install)
- lazy, repeatably-indexable Array object
- fully spec-compliant OME-Zarr group obj.
- xarray/dask exports

v0.0.rc1 on PyPI
Exactly! It's all still a bit in experimental mode since the 0.6 spec hasn't been released, but @will-j-moore.bsky.social has a working napari-plugin to read this kind of data + transforms over here: github.com/will-moore/n...
I'll never get tired of lazily browsing elastix-coregistered #WSI data in @napari.org using the upcoming @openmicroscopy.org ome-zarr @zarr.dev format version that allows to specify and read transformations directly from the image data itself.

Great news for German #BioImaging! 🤝
#GerBI & #de.NBI just signed an MoU to launch a GerBI #OMERO platform. de.NBI brings the cloud, GerBI handles ops, support & community.
🧩 A testbed + training hub for everyone. Stronger data, stronger science.
More soon!
On the Tibetan plateau, China has installed a 16-17 GW mega solar plant that is turning an alpine desert into a “micro-oasis”: more moisture, more grass, and soils with more carbon under 64 km² of panels

A large mural on a modern brick building portrays an anthropomorphic fox in a letterman jacket holding a huge red flower, surrounded by oversized blossoms and butterflies in a dreamy garden scene.
A striking street art mural on a tall concrete building with stacked curved balconies features large, realistic grey hands gripping a thick white pole or rope against a deep blue background with abstract white bird shapes and dots, under a clear blue sky with clouds.
A tall building mural shows a cartoon-style hippopotamus riding a red motorcycle with a crocodile and other whimsical animals stacked above it, all painted in dynamic, saturated colours.
A detailed mural on a tall brick wall shows a steampunk-style airship with a huge spherical balloon and a wooden ship full of chimneys and pipes, floating above painted waves.
In 2024, seven European street artists worked with local communities to transform facades across Belgium into powerful works of art.
These reflect visions of a sustainable, fair, innovative, and democratic Europe.
Globally, no single day in 2025 was cooler than its 1991-2020 average.

If you have 3 minutes, watch this video on the PhD work of @lhinderling.bsky.social. From ChatGPT-controlled smart microscopy to computer vision for easy image segmentation, and new insights into RAS–MAPK signaling. This earned a Faculty Prize for his thesis.

Kind of flew under the radar, BUT we released napari-omero 0.6 recently 🥳 @openmicroscopy.org
You can now down-/upload ROIs from and to OMERO inside @napari.org 🤩Bringing the power of napari for annotation to the management of OMERO :)
Thanks @psobolewskiphd.bsky.social and other maintainers!
A computer terminal running some automated tests and an icon reflecting the progress of the tests
Ha! Just noticed that my terminal now (has it always?) shows a small loading bar 🚧 when @pytest.org tests are running! Cool :)
Beautiful!
Do you love quantifying animal behavior as much as we do? We have just the tool for you! Presenting #OCTRON - a pipeline that helps you create rich annotation data and enables training of custom segmentation models. Have a look, particularly if you work with non-model / invertebrate organisms!

#NFDI4BIOIMAGEfromAtoZ - P as in Pixels.
In biological microscopy, #pixels are more than just image dots – they are quantitative measurements that encode spatial and intensity information at the core of high-dimensional bioimaging data.

We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji.
It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:
Photo taken at the Neues Museum in Berlin (which luckily has elevators!). It shows lots of stairs both left and right and several floors with people walking up. Some windows at the top.
Can we please discuss accessibility at conferences?
When organizers and schedules assume that everyone can walk fast and climb stairs, people with mobility issues (visible or invisible) might feel excluded.

Hackathon participants group picture
We had an amazing OME-NGFF hackathon last week, Wednesday to Friday, following the inspiring OME-NGFF symposium. What a fantastic week! It’s hard to describe how motivating it is to be surrounded by so many talented, curious & friendly people who care deeply about open, FAIR bioimaging data.

Today I'm announcing a new digital textbook 📖🖥️, "An Introduction to OME-Zarr for Big Bioimaging Data".
