Featured Database: The Cell: An Image Library

This peer-reviewed repository of thousands of stunning microscopic images of cell types, processes and components is supported by an award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and the National Institutes of Health. Most images are free to use according to the terms of Creative Commons author licenses, rather than restricted by publisher copyright.

Free registration gives the user the ability to save images in a folder. Broader features like multiple public and private folders, sharing and annotation are under development. Many videos are also posted.

Researchers are urged to contribute from their own work and experiments. For more information on the intent of the database and the many current as well as planned features, read more at Leica Science Lab.
