<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Excuse me if this is not appropriate for this list, and please point me to a better place to post.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">My group is looking for a developer to add support to Bio-Formats for reading our image file format. The files are pyramidal TIFF images containing multiple monochrome images in floating point format. They have custom
XML metadata in the image description and a few related images such as an RGB thumbnail and slide overview.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The file format is non-proprietary and well documented with example files available. Our primary goal is to add our format to the Bio-Formats mainline distribution. At a minimum we want to be able to import the full-resolution
monochrome image planes into ImageJ with appropriate metadata; we also want to work with other Bio-Formats clients.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">This is a paid contract opportunity. Developers with a track record of contributions to Bio-Formats are preferred. The work product will be released to the Bio-Formats community under an open-source license. Please contact
me directly if you are interested.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
