 - Imaging to check health of the microscope
 - Data is often kept in inaccessible locations
 - Idea is to use OMERO to store this data
 - Now have finance to implement this
 - Ease of use, FAIRness etc
 - Encourage core facility staff to use OMERO for their own data
 - Benefits of training etc
 - Packages:
     - microscope-metrics: algorithms
     - schema: Link-ml
     - microscope-metrics-omero: Interface with OMEREO
 - Seb: who will want to access the data? Users?
     - Julio: yes. Publish QC data alongside experimental data
 - Mapping:
     - OMERO group -> microscope
     - Project -> analysis over time
     - Dataset
