 OMERO is client-server software for visualization, management and analysis of biological microscope images.

+## Interacting with OMERO from ImageJ
 
-{% include citation %}
+There are several different ImageJ-based tools for working with data from an OMERO database:
+
+### OMERO plugin for Fiji/ImageJ
+
+The [OME project](https://openmicroscopy.org/) has developed the **OMERO plugin for Fiji/ImageJ**. Read about it at:
+
+{% include link-banner url="https://omero-guides.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fiji/docs/" %}
+
+For versions of OMERO prior to 5.5, OME's plugin for ImageJ was known as **OMERO.insight-ij**.
+
+### ImageJ-OMERO
+
+The [ImageJ2 team](/people) has developed [ImageJ-OMERO](https://github.com/imagej/imagej-omero), a SciJava-based library for bidirectional interoperability between [ImageJ2](/software/imagej2) and OMERO, with plugins to upload and download images, tables, and regions of interest to and from OMERO, and support for running ImageJ scripts on the OMERO server side.
+
+{% include notice icon="warning" content="Unfortunately, ImageJ-OMERO has not yet been updated to work with OMERO 5.5 and newer. This work is in progress; follow [imagej/imagej-omero#107](https://github.com/imagej/imagej-omero/pull/107) for details." %}
+
+### GReD/MICA plugins
+
+The [GReD](https://www.gred-clermont.fr/) research center and [Microscopie Imagerie Côtes d'Azur](https://univ-cotedazur.fr/mica) have collaboratively developed some tools for interacting with OMERO from ImageJ:

+2. [omero\_macro-extensions](https://github.com/GReD-Clermont/omero_macro-extensions): a plugin to interface with OMERO directly from macros through macro-extensions
+3. [simple-omero-client](https://github.com/GReD-Clermont/simple-omero-client): a wrapper library which can be called from scripts in Fiji, but can mostly be used in Maven projects to wrap calls to the underlying [OMERO Java Gateway](https://github.com/ome/omero-gateway-java) (API available [here](https://api.igred.fr/simple-omero-client/))
 
--   The [ImageJ-OMERO](https://github.com/imagej/imagej-omero) project for bidirectional interoperability between ImageJ and OMERO.
+The omero\_batch-plugin plugin gives users a GUI to help them process images from OMERO or a local folder (with bio-formats) with a script of their choosing, and save results locally or on OMERO.

+
+The omero\_macro-extensions plugin adds new [macro](/scripting/macro) functions to access data on OMERO directly from macros. For example:
+
+```javascript
+run("OMERO Extensions");
+Ext.connectToOMERO(host, port, username, password);
+images = Ext.list("images", "dataset", dataset_id);
+image_ids = split(images,",");
+imageplusID = Ext.getImage(image_ids[0]);
+```
+
+The simple-omero-client is a [Maven](/develop/maven) library, on which the omero\_batch-plugin and omero\_macro-extensions are built. It is therefore required to run these. However, once installed in Fiji, its API then becomes available for modern scripts.
+
+Instructions for the plugins installation are on their respective release page, and their READMEs should describe how to use them, although this could be improved.
