Neither Bio-Rad .scn nor Leica .scn files are supported at the moment,
but we do have plans to support both of them in the not-too-distant
future, as noted here:

http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/7703

and here:

http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/6562

If you would like to be automatically notified of our progress on either
ticket, please let me know and I will CC you accordingly.

Additionally, if you are able to send one or more datasets in either format,
that would certainly speed up the process of adding these formats to
Bio-Formats.

Regards,
-Melissa
