Metadata matters: access to image data in the real world

TLDR
An open standard format for multidimensional microscopy image data is described and it is called on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats.
Abstract
Data sharing is important in the biological sciences to prevent duplication of effort, to promote scientific integrity, and to facilitate and disseminate scientific discovery. Sharing requires centralized repositories, and submission to and utility of these resources require common data formats. This is particularly challenging for multidimensional microscopy image data, which are acquired from a variety of platforms with a myriad of proprietary file formats (PFFs). In this paper, we describe an open standard format that we have developed for microscopy image data. We call on the community to use open image data standards and to insist that all imaging platforms support these file formats. This will build the foundation for an open image data repository.

Correlative two-photon and serial block face scanning electron microscopy in neuronal tissue using 3D near-infrared branding maps.

TL;DR: Here, near-infrared branding (NIRB) overcomes this by using the laser from a multiphoton microscope to create fiducial markers for accurate correlation of 2P and electron microscopy (EM) imaging volumes.

Vps13-like proteins provide phosphatidylethanolamine for GPI anchor synthesis in the ER

TL;DR: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors attach many proteins to the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane and tubelike lipid transport proteins bring PE to the ER to support GPI anchor production.
