[ome-users] Cannot open .oif files

Hi Ysabel,

That is a quite old version of ImageJ. Is there some reason you cannot
upgrade to the latest (currently 1.47v)?

Bio-Formats, too.

The easiest way to use Bio-Formats is with the Fiji distribution of ImageJ:

    http://fiji.sc/

It comes bundled with the most recent stable version of Bio-Formats, and
will keep Bio-Formats updated for you automatically.

Please try again with Fiji and let us know how it goes. If you still
receive an error, we will be glad to help!

Regards,
Curtis
