Which version of Bio-Formats are you using?

I would initially suggest trying the latest Bio-Formats version to see
if it has been fixed.  You could try

   http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.1.0-rc1/

to see if it will be fixed in the forthcoming 5.1.0 release.

If it isn't fixed, we'll likely need some sample data to use to correct
and test the reader.  In this case, if it would be possible to zip up a
set of files which demonstrate the problem and upload them here:

   http://qa.openmicroscopy.org.uk/qa/upload/

then we'll be able to take a look at the problem in more detail.


Kind regards,
Roger
