[ome-devel] New file format - Andor Fusion software

[WHEELER Ann]

Dear OME team

We have one of the first Andor Dragonflys. It acquires data in new software called Fusion and exports data in the .ims format which is readable by Imaris. It can also export in OME-Tiff although we have stuggled to open these for some reason - the software is still being developed. 

Bioformats currently can't open the native .ims format file. I can upload a sample image for you to work on. It is a 1 channel (GFP) Z stack of an organoid. I will do this using the uploader.

When I opened it I got quite a long lost list of fails the start of this is here:

java.io.IOException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: MessageDataspace: unknown version= 49
	at ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile.open(NetcdfFile.java:425)
	at ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile.open(NetcdfFile.java:392)
	at ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile.open(NetcdfFile.java:379)
	at ucar.nc2.NetcdfFile.open(NetcdfFile.java:367)

Best

Ann
