Pleased to say that Jonas Hartmann (bs-less) and I have finally released DySTrack (“diss track”) - Dynamic Sample Tracking.

It’s a Python-based, modular tool that brings smart microscopy to everyday imaging on commercial systems.

So nice to see this!!!
I am still digesting all the info from the OME-NGFF hackathon last week.

So I decided to make a little UI for some of the code created there (just to play around), which one can easily show to interested colleagues 😜.

CZI --> OME-ZARR with some options ...

By far not perfect but still fun!

For Python package management I use a mixture of pixi, uv and conda depending on the task I'm doing.

I wrote up a long form post about the history of these tools, why each one exists, and why I settled on these choices in my workflow.

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.

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!
