Hi Both
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I don’t know if this is relevant but I note that the file contains the string "SPC FCS Data File”in the header.</div>
<div class="">Looking at line 92 of <a href="https://pimprenelle.lps.ens.fr/xvindoc/SPC__data__file__structure_8h_source.html" class="">https://pimprenelle.lps.ens.fr/xvindoc/SPC__data__file__structure_8h_source.html</a></div>
<div class="">this may indicate that the file contains what B&H call FIFO data.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Here there is no image in the file but simply a list of “events” each of which has 2 time tags.</div>
<div class="">The first tag being a real-time tag and the second being time relative to an excitation pulse signal taken from a laser..</div>
<div class="">These events are predominantly the arrival of a detected photon but may also be pixel, line or frame clocks.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> From the clock events and real-time tags it is then possible to generate standard “image” by assigning (binning)each photon to a pixel.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This might explain why the file is smaller than you might expect as this format is much more compact for small numbers of photons.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best Wishes</div>

Hi Jacob,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you for providing those extra details. I have opened a Bio-Formats PR to test and review a potential fix for this issue which you can follow at the link below:</div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">Hi David,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">thanks for your reply. The sample file comes from 'Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM)', therefore containing photon counts per time channel and pixel. Many (almost all) of them contain zero counts. Can this contribute to the smaller than expected
data block size?</div>

Hi Jacob,<br class="">
<br class="">
I was able to test and reproduce the issue as reported with the sample file provided.The problem appears to be that the expected data block size is much larger than the available space.<br class="">
<br class="">
The metadata appears to be read correctly and matches with the details provide, however for an expected 256*256 pixels with 1024 channels the file size does seem much smaller than would be required.<br class="">
Would you be able to provide further details as to the type of image data expected within the datablock?<br class="">
<br class="">
With Thanks,<br class="">
David Gault<br class="">
