[ome-users] Problem reading Leica .scn image (opensuse 13.1/ImageJ 1.48v/Bioformats Feb 4, 2015)

[Freed, Melanie]

Hi.  I would like to read in the highest resolution pixel data from a Leica .scn format whole slide fluorescence image and save it in any common format so that I can then work with it in IDL or Matlab.

I am using Linux (opensuse 13.1) and just downloaded the latest version of ImageJ (1.48v) and installed the latest bioformats imageJ plugin file from today (February 4, 2015).

I just tried to import the file in ImageJ: ImageJ -> Plugins -> Bio-Formats -> Bio-Formats Importer and got an error "Sorry, there was a problem during import".  Here is the log output:

----------

Am I doing something wrong?  Or is it not possible to import this type of file format?  Is there any other way I can access this data?

Thanks so much for your help!

Best,
Melanie
