[ome-users] dm4 imports with um scale instead of nm

[Ralph Sperling]

Hi Melissa,

thanks - I had again a look and it seems the .dm4 files contain a field 
"Units=nm" (in ImageJ: Show Info).
So I guess the importer could read this field out and set the scale unit 
accordingly.
Please let me know if I can help with anything.

Cheers,   Ralph
