[ome-users] Call for OMERO import formats

[Brian Loranger]

Hi Everyone,

For those who don't know me, I'm the guy working on the  
OMERO.importer for the OME project. Currently I'm working on getting  
Bio-Rad PIC, Delta-Vision DV, Leica LEI, Metamorph STK, RGB and  
monochrome TIFF, and Zeiss LSM files fully supported for import into  
OMERO, and would like to put out a general call for any sample data  
folks would be willing to send me for testing. Some of these formats  
are already working quite well in our Beta 1 release, (Delta-Vision,  
monochrome TIFFs, and Metamorph specifically), with the other formats  
in the works for our upcoming Beta 2 release. For all of these  
formats, we do have *some* data already, but to really make sure we  
have things working, we'd like a larger sample set to test these file  
formats from multiple sources.

Also, if there are any other file formats you feel strongly about,  
please let me know and send test data my way. I can't promise new  
formats will be in there any time soon, but I will certainly try!

Thanks for your time. If you would like to send me any test data, you  
can send me an email at brian.loranger-at-lifesci.dundee.ac.uk.

Cheers,
