Co-author @martinjones78 has a 10/10 thread explaining how #citizenscience can help with the 100s of GB of data routinely produced in #cryoEM and #teamtomo biological imaging:
The problem: many microscopes produce datasets in the giga- to terabyte regime. Extracting meaning from these datasets is HARD! E.g. 3D #ElectronMicroscopy methods like #SBFSEM and #FIBSEM produce data at 100s of GB per day Movie: @GatanMicroscopy 3View youtube.com/watch?v=PWbLA7WM…
