Build figures with OMERO

A very helpful feature of OMERO is the ability to generate figure panels of your images directly from the web interface. This guide covers the basics to create figures in OMERO.

You can find some movies on how to build figures on the official OMERO website https://www.openmicroscopy.org/omero/figure/
And a user manual on OMERO.figure: https://omero-guides.readthedocs.io/en/latest/figure/docs/omero_figure.html

OMERO.figure

1) Select the dataset or plate where you are interested in and click on one or multiple wells.

2) Click on the publication options button (figure 1).

3) Now you will get three options: Split View figure (1), Thumbnail figure (2) and Make Movie (3, only when you can image live). The split view figure will create a split view (figure 2) of the selected well(s), the thumbnail will create an small image (or set of images of your plate) and the movie makes a movie.

4) Choose the option you would like and follow the steps in the menu. Once the figure/movie is ready, you can download it or show it in the browser by clicking on the [Activities] button and choose one of the options.
