Hello,

I am currently interested in using images from the Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas into my research; however, I need to use multiple images from various times and genes. Is there a way for me to download multiple images from the same data set at a time so that I do not need to go through and individually download each image?

Thank you!

Regards,  
Lindsey

Dear Lindsey,

There are multiple ways to download individual images.

1. **From the high resolution image viewer** : You can download an image at a time by right-clicking the wrench in the upper right corner [here](https://developingmouse.brain-map.org/experiment/siv?id=100045958&imageId=100929040&initImage=ish&x=3840&y=4864&z=3):  

2. **From the API** : You can follow instructions [here](https://help.brain-map.org/display/devmouse/API) which would instruct you to find the section image id and paste the following URL in your browser: [http://api.brain-map.org/api/v2/image\_download/100929039](http://api.brain-map.org/api/v2/image_download/100929039)  

However, neither of those gets you a full series of images. You will need to use code to do this. Please install the latest python 3, and then you can use this code: [Download all images from an imageseries from Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas - python 3 · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/carolth/783d2e3e48c1d8cf423a78dc704438f5)

To find your dataset id, you can use the experiment number shown here:

Or, in the high resolution image viewer, you can use the part of the URL highlighted here:

Best of luck!
