Single-particle analysis by Cryo-electron microscopy (CryoEM) provides direct access to the conformation of each macromolecule. However, the image's signal-to-noise ratio is low, and some form of classification is usually performed at the image processing level to allow structural modeling. Classical classification methods imply the existence of a discrete number of structural conformations.

Organised data is easy to use but the rapid developments in the field of bioimaging, with improvements in instrumentation, detectors, software and experimental techniques, have resulted in an explosion of the volumes of data being generated, making well-organised data an elusive goal. This guide offers a handful of recommendations for bioimage depositors, analysts and microscope and software developers, whose implementation would contribute towards better organised data in preparation for archival. Based on our experience archiving large image datasets in EMPIAR, the BioImage Archive and BioStudies, we propose a number of strategies that we believe would improve the usability (clarity, orderliness, learnability, navigability, self-documentation, coherence and consistency of identifiers, accessibility, succinctness) of future data depositions more useful to the bioimaging community (data authors and analysts, researchers, clinicians, funders, collaborators, industry partners, hardware/software producers, journals, archive developers as well as interested but non-specialist users of bioimaging data).

Volume electron microscopy (vEM) techniques produce scientifically important datasets which are time and resource intensive to generate (Peddie et al., 2022). Public archival of such datasets, usually described in the literature, provides many benefits to the data depositors, to those making use of research results based on the datasets, and to the vEM community at large, both now and in the future.

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique for determining the structures of biological macromolecular complexes. Picking single-protein particles from cryo-EM micrographs is a crucial step in reconstructing protein structures. However, the widely used template-based particle picking process is labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Segmentation helps interpret imaging data in a biological context. With the development of powerful tools for automated segmentation, public repositories for imaging data have added support for sharing and visualizing segmentations, creating the need for interactive web-based visualization of 3D volume segmentations. To address the ongoing challenge of integrating and visualizing multimodal data, we developed Mol* Volumes and Segmentations (Mol*VS), which enables the interactive, web-based visualization of cellular imaging data supported by macromolecular data and biological annotations.
