Microscopy labs have very quickly moved from keeping track of and storing thousands of samples and negatives “atoms,” to having to now deal with the same number of samples, and a few negatives, but in addition, we may now have thousands of digital images “bits.” In a two-year microscopy teaching program, which includes 18 microscopy courses, there are thousands of images, which must be collected from a variety of input devices running on various platforms. These must then be associated with different types of data files that need to be tagged to reports as well as being tagged to projects and courses. All of this information must be accessible, first to all those involved with doing the project, as well as to anyone associated with needing the results.
