Schematic representation of the menoci ALMN and Echocardiography module workflows. The menoci Advanced Light Microscopy and Nanoscopy and Echocardiography modules guide researchers through the workflows of CRC1002 service facilities for the name-giving imaging methods. The software tracks status of different service requests by researchers, presenting customised data entry forms for all workflow steps and streamlining communication with facility personnel. Microscopy or Echocardiography project metadata and resulting files are stored using CDSTAR via the menoci Research Data Archive module, and assigned Handle persistent identifiers (PIDs) using the ePIC web service. Researchers and facility staff can retrieve datasets for further analysis and finally may use ALMN and Echo module functions to communicate feedback.
