      Deliverable-driven.

    • Euro-bioimaging / Global-bioimaging. Want single tool

      resource. E.g. spot-tracker, registration tool etc.

    • Discussions within our team for a while. And interacting

    • Vision to “do this correctly” storing Datasets, protocols,

    • But need to get started with simpler html page.
