图像记录了科学发现，在现代生物医学研究中很普遍。尤其是显微成像，目前正在经历快速的技术进步。然而，对于希望公布获得的图像和图像分析结果的科学家来说，目前还没有关于最佳做法的统一指导方针。因此，显微镜图像和出版物中的图像数据可能不清楚或难以解释。在这里，我们提出了社区开发的检查表，用于准备光学显微镜图像并为出版物描述图像分析。这些清单为作者、读者和出版商提供了关于图像格式和注释、颜色选择、数据可用性和报告图像分析工作流程的关键建议。我们的指导方针的目标是提高图像数据的清晰度和再现性，从而提高显微镜数据的质量和解释力。
Images document scientific discoveries and are prevalent in modern biomedical research. Microscopy imaging in particular is currently undergoing rapid technological advancements. However, for scientists wishing to publish obtained images and image-analysis results, there are currently no unified guidelines for best practices. Consequently, microscopy images and image data in publications may be unclear or difficult to interpret. Here, we present community-developed checklists for preparing light microscopy images and describing image analyses for publications. These checklists offer authors, readers and publishers key recommendations for image formatting and annotation, color selection, data availability and reporting image-analysis workflows. The goal of our guidelines is to increase the clarity and reproducibility of image figures and thereby to heighten the quality and explanatory power of microscopy data.
