1. A computer-implemented method for presenting data to a user, comprising: displaying a first plurality of images in a first two-dimensional image grid, wherein a first and a second dimension of the first two-dimensional image grid are selected from a plurality of image-collection dimensions including Time, Stage, Channel, and Focus Position, wherein the first plurality of images are selected from a first multi-dimensional dataset comprising images of a biological sample, each image in the first plurality of images being associated with a respective value in each of the first and the second dimensions, and wherein the first plurality of images are associated with a common value in a third dimension selected from the plurality of image-collection dimensions and are ordered in the first two-dimensional image grid according to the associated values of the images in the first and the second dimensions; receiving user input for visually manipulating one of the first plurality of images displayed in the first two-dimensional image grid, the user input including one or more of zooming, panning, and thresholding; and simultaneously updating views of the first plurality of images that are visible in the first two-dimensional image grid by applying the user input to the first plurality of images.
