Template data

JFRCtemplate.tif was generated by Arnim Jenett and colleagues at Janelia Farm as part of the FlyLight project reported in Jenett et al 2012. It contained 3 identical copies of the same image channel, an nc82 staining of a single female brain. This was 8 bit uncalibrated data. The original image was acquired with a 20x dry objective on a Zeiss confocal. The lateral resolution was 0.622088 and the slice spacing was 1 micron (uncorrected for air/mounting medium mismatch). This data was later upsampled to 0.622088 isotropic, with 218 slices in Z.

JFRC2

We have resaved this original data using the 0.622088 isotropic calibration and commonly refer to this as the JFRC2 template. It is available as JFRCtemplate2010.nrrd in nrrd format, which consists of a plain text header concatenated with a gzipped data block.

(nb this output was produced by unu head. Nrrd assumes that the header is ASCII encoded details here. However this header is implictly encoded in something like ISO-8859-1 for the µ (micro) symbol to work!

Label field data

The label field segmentation describing standardised neuropil domains was generated by Arnim Jenett (Janelia Farm Research Campus), Kazunori Shinomiya and Kei Ito (University of Tokyo) based on the template data described above.There have been at least two iterations of the label field data, the most recent dated 130819, JFRCtempate2010.mask130819.am.

The label field in Amira format was resaved as an 8 bit nrrd file with integer levels between 0 and 85, JFRCtempate2010.mask130819_Original.nrrd. The levels are defined in Original_Index.tsv.
