Hi Lewis,
There is now a ticket on our issue tracking system to fix timestamp
population for FV1000 .oib and .oif files:
http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/11087
If you would like to be automatically notified of changes to that
ticket, please let us know and we will CC you.
Regards,
-Melissa

For example, when opening Zeiss .lsm files, I see the time information in metadata as, “*TimeStamp*,*TimeStamp*,…”. Where can I find this time information for each image plane in the .nd2 files?
