In the Institute for Anatomy at the University of Berne, ImageAccess is used to manage and archive images (LM, LSM, TEM, SEM) for science and teaching. The centralised image management allows the preparation of lectures and presentations. Furthermore, the electronic image management allows direct access to image data collections from the auditorium. In future, the institute plans to link the image archives with other institutes for anatomy at other universities.

An increasing number of images are generated in the application areas of Zoology and Botany; these images are classified and organised using ImageAccess which plays an important role in providing long term availability of research results.

Present-day cell biology, genetics, molecular biology and micro biology use a wide variety of different image sources such as simple light microscopes, high quality confocal microscopes, electron microscopes, and others. A vast number of images are created, managed and archived with ImageAccess.

Imaging centres must rely on a fast and highly structured archive concept for the large amount of image data to be managed. These image and related meta data (such as project descriptions, magnifications, etc.) are immediately available to the users. ImageAccess, with its intelligent image management, causes minimal load on the network whilst providing best image quality.

In the field of Neurobiology single nerve fibres and complete nerve epitheliums are analysed, dendrites are measured and compared. For these purposes, the digital image has gained a very high level of importance in Neuroscience. ImageAccess is used to gain a quick overview of the original image data, store processed images in a structured way and to create presentations and publications both speedily and efficiently.

In the basic research of pharmacology a large amount of images are created, which during analysis are documenting the influence of a variety of agents onto the living cell. ImageAccess plays an important role in the documentation and presentation of the latest science work in this field.
