Steps required to automatically generate microscopy methods text. Image metadata is collected from the manufacturer metadata in the image file using the OME TIFF tools. Hardware metadata is collected from a Micro-Meta App Microscope.JSON file. It is recommended to have an experienced microscopist or imaging scientist guide researchers through the methods text generation and validation process. Acknowledgement text can be added to the script by imaging scientists in the microscopy platform including a RRID.
