...and lots more! (Lost and lots of other stuff-- we simply couldn't help ourselves.)

The full list of features in OMERO, including new features in the OMERO Beta4.2.1, is at http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/products/feature-list Most features are accompanied by a short movie that shows that functionality in action.

We have a number of other features we will expose (including extensions to the much talked about OMERO.fs) in point releases that follow over the next few months.

Our feedback system, OMERO.qa (http://qa.openmicroscopy.org.uk) is a facility users and developers can use to log comments and exceptions. OMERO.qa supports uploading of problematic data files, and tracking of responses to any user queries. Moreover, OMERO.qa includes a demo feature: in collaboration with Urban Liebel at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, we are providing demo accounts for OMERO. Use the Demo link at qa to contact us if you are interested in this.

As always, thanks for your support.
