<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Excuse me if this is not appropriate for this list, and please point me to a better place to post.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
