I'm thinking about using Bio-Formats to save ome-tiff images during
acquistion. Would you recommend this?<br>
I'm wondering if the performance is adequate for this purpose, given
the high frame-rates that are typical.<br>
<br>
The folks at Micro-Manager wrote their own Tiff writer. They use
Bio-Formats to provide OME-Tiff metadata, but wrote their own Tiff
writer. Did you (or Mellisa) ever talk with them about this? <br>
Do you thinks the Bio-Formats OMETiffWriter is as fast, faster?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
