Combined neuroglancer workspace

A default neuroglancer workspace containing all of the above layers is available here.

Data access from Python via TensorStore

We have prepared a Colaboratory notebook that demonstrates how to access the released datasets via TensorStore, a library for reading and writing large multi-dimensional arrays.

Data can also be downloaded directly from Google Cloud Storage (e.g. via gsutil) from the links listed in Neuroglancer, e.g. for the segmentation: gs://h01-release/data/20210601/4nm_raw. The format specification for the data is described here.
