ez-zarr 0.2.3

Give easy, high-level access to ome-zarr filesets.

ez_zarr

Goals

The aim of ez_zarr is to provide easy, high-level access to OME-Zarr filesets (high content screening microscopy data, stored according to the NGFF specifications in OME-Zarr with additional metadata fields, for example the ones generated by the Fractal platform).

The goal is that users can write simple scripts working with plates, wells and fields of view, without having to understand how these are represented within an OME-Zarr fileset.

Example

You can use ez_zarr from the command line to get information about an OME-Zarr fileset:

ez_zarr tests/example_data/plate_ones.zarr

or from within python to get access to all its functionality:

## import module
from ez_zarr import ome_zarr

## open an Image
img = ome_zarr.Image('tests/example_data/plate_ones_mip.zarr/B/03/0')
img
# Image 0
#   path: tests/example_data/plate_ones_mip.zarr/B/03/0
#   n_channels: 2 (some-label-1, some-label-2)
#   n_pyramid_levels: 3
#   pyramid_zyx_scalefactor: [1. 2. 2.]
#   full_resolution_zyx_spacing (micrometer): [1.0, 0.1625, 0.1625]
#   segmentations: organoids
#   tables (measurements): FOV_ROI_table

## legacy objects from `hcs_wrappers`
from ez_zarr import hcs_wrappers

plate_3d = hcs_wrappers.FractalZarr('tests/example_data/plate_ones.zarr')
plate_3d
# FractalZarr plate_ones.zarr
#   path: tests/example_data/plate_ones.zarr
#   n_wells: 1
#   n_channels: 2 (some-label-1, some-label-2)
#   n_pyramid_levels: 3
#   pyramid_zyx_scalefactor: {'0': array([1. 2. 2.])}
#   full_resolution_zyx_spacing: [1.0, 0.1625, 0.1625]
#   segmentations: 
#   tables (measurements): FOV_ROI_table

A more extensive example is available from here, also available as an ipynb notebook.
