This facility offers a collection of state-of-the-art light microscopy equipment and image processing tools.
The VMs are powerful computers that are centrally installed in EMBL’s data centre and can be logged into remotely from any computer. Using the VMs you can efficiently analyse all data that you stored on one of your group’s file servers (Tier-1).
Please install the VM-Horizon client on your computer, follow the instructions on the EMBL 3D cloud page of ITS.
The machines can be booked using EMBL’s resource booking system: ppms.embl.de
Please contact ALMF or create a PPMS training request to get access to the booking of these VMs.
In case you do not have a ppms account yet, please register here.
In case you have problems like “Loading Failed – dektop sources for this desktop are not responding”, please contact IT support by email or service request.
Specifications of the available ALMF VMs are listed on the booking and equipment page.
As everybody has their own flavor of Fiji (i.e. different update sites and different versions) we decided not to install Fiji and the VMs. However, one great thing about Fiji is that it does not need to be installed. Please simply copy a Windows 64bit version of Fiji on one of your group shares and start Fiji from there by double-clicking on ImageJ-win64.exe in the Fiji.app folder.
