Been busy in Zürich für the last 24h or so. Talks have been great so far, and I have a talk too. Still find it weird to see my name on a poster.

I'd only dabbled with napari, but needed to use it for a paper we're writing. This is a quick post about getting started: from installation to a folder full of thousands of processed images, with gotchas along the way.

Today, napari users can’t fully leverage Xarray’s labeled metadata, as slider names, units & dimensions often get out of sync. That’s changing. At SciPy 2025, napari, Xarray & CellProfiler devs began a collab to build true metadata-aware visualization across sciences.

If you've ever worked with OME things, it is worth reading this update from Jason Swedlow on image.sc about the evolving OME governance. The TL;DR is that an interim leadership team has been assembled and new governance structures are coming sooner rather than later. forum.image.sc/t/ome-transi...

Over at `ome-zarr-models` we're working on implementing support for the new coordinate systems too - here's an example of a transformation graph from multiple tiled images that can be transformed into a common "world" coordinate system. 🟥 ➡️ 🌎

Those sample datasets are public, so you can try them yourselfs. Links can also be found at github.com/ome/ome-ngff...

The #OME-Zarr RFC-5 proposal allows you to transform multiple images into the same coordinateSystem. Trying this out with napari at github.com/will-moore/n.... Cool that you can offset T-dimension as well as XYZ!

The connectome of the entire male Drosophila central nervous system is out!! Acquired using FIB-SEM @ 8x8x8nm, we aligned 7.5 mio 2D images aligned into one seamless 3D volume, which was used to segment & proofread neurons and synapses. @hhmijanelia.bsky.social

Very nice! Your Affine Transform blog post is really neat and just what I needed right now 👍 for #OME-Zarr RFC-5. I also want to try out marimo and Web Assembly 😍

What to do if you have extraordinary size data but no extraordinary local memory? 😱

At the @grcib2025.bsky.social, @joshmoore.bsky.social addressed this issue in the talk “When Data Doesn’t Fit – A Bioimaging Story from Files to FAIR”.

Honoured to be featured - and even prouder of what the @bioimagearchive.bsky.social team is building together for the life sciences community.
Meet Aybuke Kupcu Yoldas 🇹🇷🇬🇧 our BioImage Archive Data Project Leader.

Aybuke swapped telescopes for microscopes and stars ⭐ for cells a few years ago, when she pivoted from astrophysics to bioimaging.

She now helps make bioimages easy to access and reuse.
