Hi <div>I am still struggling with the import of Andor tif files as a screen. I have been reading up on the OME specifications for screens and have created am OME-XML header file that passes validation:</div><div><br></div>

<br></div><div>So I have a screen, that has a plate, a well. the well has a wellsample. And for the plate I have an acquisition. In the well sample I have defined a single image for now what does contain 2 channels.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I can import the image alright but the image is not part of a screen, even when I tell the importer to make it part of a screen. I also tried to import one of the OME-XML sample files:</div><div><br></div>

</div><div><br></div><div>Here there are 2 screens with several wells. If I import that file I can see the image but as with my example the images (12 altogether) are not part of a screen.</div><div><br></div><div>Any advice on how to improve my OME-XML code would be greatly appreciated.</div>
