The Open Microscopy Environment
Bio-Formats is a software tool for reading and writing image data, with a standardized application interface that supports open-source analysis programs like ImageJ and CellProfiler, informatics solutions like OMERO, and commercial programs like MATLAB. It supports over 140 file formats including High Content Screening formats, time lapse imaging and digital pathology. Bio-Formats is a community driven project and we always welcome your input.
OME Files is a package of tools for reading and writing the standard OME-TIFF file format and working with the OME data model, which builds upon what began as a native C++ implementation of Bio-Formats. OME-NGFF is a more recent project, working on a specification and format, OME-Zarr, for storing large multi-dimensional image data in a cloud-optimized, chunked, compressed format.
