About

SBEMimage is an open-source Python application to run acquisitions with scanning electron microscopes, in particular for serial block-face imaging. Read the paper.

The development of SBEMimage at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel has been supported by the Novartis Research Foundation and by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (Grant Agreement No. 742576). Other institutes that have substantially contributed to SBEMimage development/testing: EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland (CIME/BioEM); Francis Crick Institute, London, UK.

Development team: Benjamin Titze, Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, Switzerland (founder); Joost de Folter, Graham Ross, Francis Crick Institute, UK; Thomas Templier, Janelia Research Campus, USA; Philipp Schubert, Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology, Germany; all contributors.

All ongoing development takes place in the 'dev' branch. Pull requests to that branch are welcome. For more information, see the section For developers in this user guide.
