    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
      <br>
      Just an idea but can OME keep fixed unit depending the data type
      (i.e. micron for pixel size, ms for time lapse...) and just do
      values conversion when filling the metadata ? The idea of using
      fixed unit (aside it's easier to deal with) is that it also
      consumes less space in database to store them.<br>
      <br>
      Cheers,<br>

              thanks - I had again a look and it seems the .dm4 files
