As a cell biologist and imaging scientist, I care deeply about making image data FAIR by design. The Imaging-PHD project directly supports this goal by enabling systematic capture of metadata describing the hardware configuration of scientific instruments — including microscopes — while ensuring proper attribution of credit to the core facility personnel who maintain them and oversee their quality control.
