Data storage and Image analysis
Modern biological imaging produces vast amounts of data.
At the CCI we have the infrastructure and expertise to be able to support users in the storage and analysis across the range of size scales from a few megabytes to terabytes.
We also have a mix of commercial and free/open-source software packages for image analysis installed on several workstations located in the Image Analysis Suite. Our staff includes a Technical Specialist in Image Analysis to aid quantitation, visualisation, software training or experimental design.
A typical image analysis pipeline comprises multiple steps which have to be optimised iteratively. The in-house image analyst supports the choice of appropriate software and processing steps following the community-agreed best practise.
