Public archiving of volume EM 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. In this chapter we discuss these benefits, explain how EMBL-EBI's image data services support archival of both vEM and correlative imaging data, and discuss how future developments will unlock more value from these vEM datasets.
