Electron Microscopy Public Image Archive

EMPIAR, the Electron Microscopy Public Image Archive, is a public resource for raw, 2D electron microscopy images. Here, you can browse, upload, download and reprocess the thousands of raw, 2D images used to build a 3D structure. The purpose of EMPIAR is to provide an easy access to the state-of-the-art raw data to facilitate methods development and validation, which will lead to better 3D structures. It complements the Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB), where 3D images are stored, and uses the fault-tolerant Aspera platform for data transfers

EMPIAR，即电子显微镜公共图像档案，是一项公开资源，用于存储原始的二维电子显微镜图像。在此平台上，用户可浏览、上传、下载并对用于构建三维结构的数千张原始二维图像进行重新处理。EMPIAR的宗旨是提供前沿原始数据的便捷访问，以促进方法的发展与验证，进而提升三维结构的构建质量。它补充了电子显微镜数据库（EMDB），其中存储了三维图像，并采用容错性高的Aspera平台进行数据传输。
