From a user’s perspective, OMERO 5 mostly alters the way import looks in OMERO.insight. Your files are now uploaded on to the OMERO.server in their original format which means you can always export them in this format. We have also introduced checksums to confirm if your file has been correctly uploaded so that you can have confidence that no corruption has occurred on import and your files are safely stored. In combination, these changes mean that you no longer need to store duplicates of your data outside of OMERO, for example if you require the original format for some of your data analysis.
Note
OMERO demo server is now available for OMERO 5.
