If the metadata doesn't match the pixel data and the Leica SCN reader
code isn't handling this properly, this is something we need to take a
closer look at to see if we can handle it in the reader code.

Please could you upload a copy of the file to
https://www.openmicroscopy.org/qa2/qa/upload/ and we will then be able
to take a look at the problem in more detail and then be able to suggest
a workaround if possible, and look at any changes we might be able to
make to handle this data.


Many thanks,
Roger Leigh
