The Image Data Resource (IDR) is a public repository of image datasets from published scientific studies, where the community can submit, search and access high-quality bio-image data. It is part of The BioImage Archive stores and distributes biological images that are useful to life-science researchers. Its development will provide data archiving services to the broader bioimaging database community. This includes added-value bioimaging data resources such as EMPIAR, Cell-IDR and Tissue-IDR.

EMPIAR (https://empiar.org/ or https://www.ebi.ac.uk/empiar), the Electron Microscopy Public Image Archive, is a public resource for raw images underpinning 3D cryo-EM maps and tomograms (themselves archived in EMDB). EMPIAR also accommodates 3D datasets obtained with volume EM techniques and soft and hard X-ray tomography.

The Cytomine cooperative host several virtual slides having an interest for pedagogical purposes or technical interest.

Fluorescence microscopy cannot be used to image human embryos to determine embryo viability for in vitro fertilization because the introduction of exogenous fluorescent dyes is considered a toxic procedure. As a result, embryo viability has been measured primarily using differential interference contrast (DIC).
