<div>Dear Enno,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for reporting the issue.</div>
<div>Unfortunately, we were not able to reproduce the same with the files that we had locally (with Bio-Formats 5.1.1/5.1.2). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As suggested, it would help us troubleshoot the issue better, if you could submit your file to our QA system.</div>

<div>Dear Balaji and Melissa,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>firstly thanks for your great effort regarding bioformats! Following is a problem, which I believe could be another bug:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
last year I submitted a problem about wrong indexing of x,y data of nd2 files (#<span>12569</span>: BUG: ND2 files - x,y position of the different multi points returned in the wrong order).<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I still use matlab for loading nd2 files and retrieve metadata with commands like:<br>
<br>
r = loci.formats.ChannelFiller();<br>
r = loci.formats.ChannelSeparator(r);<br>
r.setMetadataStore(loci.formats.MetadataTools.createOMEXMLMetadata());<br>
r.setId( FileName);<br>
metadata=r.getMetadataStore();<br>
</div>
<div>i=positionIndex;<br>
</div>
<div>j=loci.formats.FormatTools.getIndex(r, z, channel, time)<br>
</div>
<div>x=double(metadata.getPlanePositionX(i,j).value)<br>
</div>
<div>t=double(metadata.getPlaneDeltaT(i,j).value)<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
Position data for x,y,z retrieved with 5.1.1 for the nd2 file I submitted with my previous problem, are correct now. However, time-points retrieved with metadata.getPlaneDeltaT(i,j) in the same manner are in the wrong order.<br>
</div>
<br>
Furthermore the position data for nd2 files acquired with several z-slices is wrongly indexed. I have an example nd2 files with T(1) x XY(8) x Z(4) dimensions. Version 5.0.3 shows the correct order of 4 z-steps at the first XY position, which is then repeated
at the remaining 7 positions. Version 5.1.1 shows the x,y,z values jumping about in the wrong order.<br>
<br>
</div>
As an aside: I noted that with 5.1.1 the number of the dimensions of nd2 files with all four T, XY, Z and lambda dimensions are correctly identified. Previously I could only use bioformats with 3 different types of dimensions. However, as soon as an nd2 files
is modified and saved in NIS elements, the numbers of the dimensions are not correct anymore.<br>
<br>
</div>
I can supply example nd2 files if needed, but will need to upload them via the qa system.<br>
<br>
</div>
Hope this helps, and again many thanks for maintaining and developing such a great product!<br>
<br>

Best,<br>
