Although images can be viewed from anywhere you have internet access by connecting to the webclient ([[https://omero.epfl.ch/webclient/ | omero.epfl.ch]]), the OMERO.insight desktop client is required to import images to OMERO.
=== At the BIOP ===
{F17946695, float, height=60} The OMERO.insight client has been installed and configured on most of the BIOP's microscope computers (you can find the list [[https://c4science.ch/w/bioimaging_and_optics_platform_biop/image-processing/omero/data-upload/biop/ | here ]]). It can be accessed via the {nav EPFL - OMERO} desktop shortcut, which is available for every EPFL users. Enter your gaspar credentials to log in.
