<br>
Is anyone aware of a Python library for working with OME Tiff files?<br>
<br>
I noticed that there is a Python BioFormats project, which provides a<br>
wrapper around the BioFormats Java libraries.<br>
<a href="https://github.com/CellProfiler/python-bioformats" target="_blank">https://github.com/CellProfiler/python-bioformats</a><br>
<br>
However, I have not managed to find a Python library that can read and<br>
manipulate OME Tiff files without the need for Java.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know if there is a "Java free" Python library for working<br>
with OME Tiff files?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Tjelvar<br>
