[ome-users] LIF format - metadata

[Will Moore]

Hi Veronique,

We would like to be able to import all this metadata if possible.

However, it is quite tricky to map the data in the LIF file to our  
OME data model.

For example, in a sample LIF file I'm looking at (with ImageJ and  
BioFormats plugin), there appears to be only 1 pin-hole size, whereas  
our model requires a pin-hole size for each channel.

One problem we have is that we don't know how the LIF files are read  
and displayed by the Leica software.
(Do you know of any LIF viewing software that is available to download?)

You could help us a lot by sending us any sample LIF files you have,  
together with a list of all the metadata you want to view from the  
files.
Alternatively, if you could also take a screen-shot of what the files  
look like, and what metadata is displayed in the Leica software, that  
would allow us to work out how to read this metadata from the file.

If you want details of how to upload sample files to our image  
repository, please e-mail melissa melissa at glencoesoftware.com

  Many thanks,

   Will.
