**Using CVL@M3: FIJI/ImageJ for light microscopy, and methods of data transfer** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Nicholas Condon** *and Kathryn Hall** *presenter Systems support: Jafar Lie, Jay van Schyndel, Irek Porebski, Edan Scriven and Lance Wilson Training support: Deborah Barkauskas -------------------------------------------------------------------- **Background** This workshop was created to follow on from a presentation which was delivered at the [VIS2021][1] symposium on 18 February, 2021 (see [link][2]). The VIS2021 symposium was an entirely online event, held 16–19 February, 2021, and organised by the [Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis Society][3]. The [full program][4] of talks is available at the website for the symposium. The presentation introduced the [Characterisation Virtual Laboratory][5] (CVL) and provided instructions to potential users on how to apply for an account. People registering for accounts were then invited to attend these training workshops. Participation at the workshops was later extended to the wider microscopy community in Australia. All participants were required to set up a CVL account at MASSIVE (CVL@M3) in order to facilitate training on the one node. The specific details of the workshops are listed below. **Workshop 1** *FIJI/ImageJ for light microscopy in CVL (using CVL@M3).* Date: 1 March, 2021, 12:30-3:30pm (Brisbane time; GMT +10:00). Location: Zoom (online only). Zoom room: https://uqz.zoom.us/j/85789701055 Topics: - Brief introduction to the CVL environment - Logging in and opening data - General introduction to 3D data-sets in FIJI - Worked examples using Big Data - Batch processing and automation (scripting) The Day 1 session was attended by 22 participants and ran for 2 hrs 35 mins. **Workshop 2** *Methods of data transfer for CVL (using CVL@M3).* Date: 2 March, 2021, 12:30-3:30pm (Brisbane time; GMT +10:00). Location: Zoom (online only). Zoom room: https://uqz.zoom.us/j/85795147513 Topics: - Concepts around data management - Cloudstor+ (and other repositories like UQ RDM) - sFTP (WinSCP, Filezilla) - OMERO ---------- **Repository contents** Day 1 1. anonymised attendance summary statistics (as *.csv); 2. a copy of the slides (as *.pptx) used in the introduction; 3. a copy of the teaching materials used in the workshop (as *.pdf); 4. a recording of the workshop (as *.mp4) (NB: introduction not recorded; FIJI training only); and 5. a sub-component containing zipped folders of the files used in the training workship (as *.zip) - 5 folders and a further sub-component indicated as "Exercise 3 - LLS Big Data Import". ---------- Day 2 1. anonymised attendance summary statistics (as *.csv); 2. a copy of the teaching slides (as *.pptx) used in the workshop; 3. a copy of the teaching slides used in the workshop (as *.pdf); and 4. a recording of the workshop (as *.mp4).
