The worm image database

Search Image

Welcome to WormImage! Here you can view and download thousands of unpublished electron micrographs and associated data. These images have been generated by several labs in the C. elegans community, including the MRC, the Hall lab (Center for C. elegans Anatomy), and the Culotti and Riddle labs. We welcome further contributions of archival image data from other C. elegans labs (see submission).

WormImage is still under development. Any feedback, complaint or suggestion is very welcome! And many more images will be added to this database at regular intervals. The current features include:

You can search on WormImage for tissues of interest for wild type adult hermaphrodites, embryos, larvae, males and for a limited number of mutants. In cases where the animal has been reconstructed from serial sections on prints, we will translate the print annotations for many cell types of interest.
The results of your search will initially be displayed as a series of thumbnails for easy viewing from which you can select larger files to download.
Click index to view the records currently stored in database. The index list is sorted by categories of worm name, development stage and portion of body.
Click Add Review to add your own comment to each individual image, If you choose to make them public, comments will be posted as added archival data for that image; alternately they will be saved as private with limited access to a selected audience.
Improved navigation between thumbnails (1/12/2007)
Click on "prev" or "next" at lower left corner of each thumbnail to quickly advance through all images of one animals.
