<pre class="bz_comment_text" id="comment_text_0">Hello,
I have a .czi dataset which is a 2 channel 2 illumination side single view timeseries.
The 2 illumination sides are not fused. Each dimension is saved as an individual .czi file.
Thus there are 4 files per time point with the follwing order when they are saved by the microscope:
Time point 1; Channel 1; Right Illumination >> no index
Time point 1; Channel 2; Right Illumination >> index 1
Time point 1; Channel 1; Left Illumination >> index 2
Time point 1; Channel 2; Left Illumination >> index 3
Time point 2; Channel 1; Right Illumination >> index 4
etc...
For opening these files by dragging them into Fiji or selecting them via Bio-Formats Importer I use the following settings:
Hyperstack; Open Files Individually; Color mode: Default; Autoscale; Specify range for each series.
This opens the Bio-formats Range option.
The range for the z slices are correct. In this dataset 155 slices. But the Channels are incorrect.
For the first file of the dataset without index: C Begin = 1; C End = 4; 620 planes (4C x 155Z)
Interestingly if I give this file an index (such as 0) the behaviour is different then it does not recoginze any channels.
The next file with index 1: C Begin = 1; C End = 2; 310 planes (2C x 155Z)
Index 2: C Begin = 1; C End = 2; 310 planes (2C x 155Z)
Index 3: C Begin = 1; C End = 4; 620 planes (4C x 155Z)
Index 4 (first file of new timepoint): no channels recognized.
This pattern is repeated within each following time point.
1. Problem: It does not open the selected file as individual file.
It expects multiple channels and tries to open them thus I need to set the range.
2. Problem: The interpretations are not consistent within one time point.
At least the pattern is repeating so I was able to write a macro for now to circumvent this.
I can provide an example dataset with the above described 4 files (~2.8GB).
One question: the illumination sides seem to be recognized as channels.
I was made aware that this is the default interpretation of the importer for higher dimensions.
Is this correct?
Thanks a lot!
