Announcing the JCB DataViewer, a browser-based application for viewing original image files

Over the lifetime of the JCB, the technology available to cell biologists has advanced immensely, producing more complex data with higher information content. Despite the advent of the Internet, the presentation of data in publications has not kept pace. Authors still present single, static, "representative" images and compressed movie files. I am therefore excited and proud to announce the launch of the JCB DataViewer (http://jcb-dataviewer.rupress.org).
