OME-Zarr creation libraries¶
There are many different creation software libraries available for OME-Zarr images - see a full list in the NGFF documentation. When choosing a tool to write OME-Zarr data, you should be aware of how it handles memory, in particular if it reads entire images into memory at once or not.
OME-Zarr visualisation¶
There are many different viewers available for OME-Zarr images - see a full list in the NGFF documentation.
Napari¶
A good Python-based option is napari - see installation instructions on their website.
By default, napari supports opening Zarr arrays e.g.
import napari
# Data as a zarr array
heart_image = load_heart_data(array_type='zarr')
viewer = napari.Viewer()
viewer.add_image(heart_image)
napari.run()To open OME-Zarr images, you will need to install the napari-ome-zarr plugin.
