Welcome to the January 2018 DEC newsletter, I try to keep these newsletters brief, more regular updates can be found on the DEC website. If you require additional information please contact me by email.

Collections Scanning Progress

We have now completed the second collection (Hinrichsen Collection) scanning and the Axioskan has been relocated to Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin scanning the is part of Embryo Collections::Embryological Collection.

There are many test images uploaded to the DEC image server that users should be able to access. Please note that these are only test images and are not in the final DEC database structure/format. The Blechschmidt and Hinrichsen test images can also be accessed from the DEC website external links.

Scanning of the is part of Embryo Collections::Embryological Collection will be completed in 2018, and I am currently beginning to update the selection process and logistics of transporting the scanner to the next DEC member collection.

OMERO Server (version 5.4)

The new DEC Omero Image Server (5.4) http://149.171.80.223:8080 has now been stably running since installed in December 2017. Sample test images from the Blechschmidt and Hinrichsen collections have now also been successfully uploaded in the JPGXR format.

Several other collections have also begun uploading test images in other formats to see if OMERO generates image pyramids. Please convert a few sample scanned histology images from your collection into the JPGXR format and then upload using the OMERO client software OMERO.insight. Once you have successfully completed the upload could you contact me by email. Please note the test images can be from any original histology scan or photograph that you may have as long as the JPGXR format is used for the upload. You will need to used the personal user name and password that I have previously sent by email.
