[ome-users] Error to Open .czi File

[William Moore]

Hi Ji,

I tried opening with an updated Fiji (Bio-formats 5.1.1 and I see the same as you.
It looks like this is actually a 16-bit image that only contains 8-bit data.
The Original Metadata has:
BitsPerPixel    8
PixelType        uint16

Bio-formats is reading the BitsPerPixel incorrectly, since it's setting the "SignificantBits" attribute to 16 (see screenshot).
I've created a ticket to fix this bug: https://trac.openmicroscopy.org/ome/ticket/12885


Downloading the bioformats package from http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.1.1/ and running
java -jar bioformats_package.jar ZEN\ 2\ Blue\ 8bit.czi
Seemed to work fine for me.
The Show Metadata option gave me this (showing SizeC = 1 and SizeT = 1).

<Pixels BigEndian="false" DimensionOrder="XYCZT" ID="Pixels:0" Interleaved="false" PhysicalSizeX="0.09999999999999999" PhysicalSizeY="0.09999999999999999" SignificantBits="16" SizeC="1" SizeT="1" SizeX="256" SizeY="256" SizeZ="1" Type="uint16">


Downloading the command line tools from the above url, and running

$ ./showinf ZEN\ 2\ Blue\ 8bit.czi

seemed to open the image fine. With…

Filename = /Users/wmoore/Documents/ZEN 2 Blue 8bit.czi
Series count = 1
Series #0 :
	Image count = 1
	RGB = false (1) 
	Interleaved = false
	Indexed = true (false color)
	Width = 256
	Height = 256
	SizeZ = 1
	SizeT = 1
	SizeC = 1
	Thumbnail size = 128 x 128
	Endianness = intel (little)
	Dimension order = XYCZT (certain)
	Pixel type = uint16
	Valid bits per pixel = 8
	Metadata complete = false
	Thumbnail series = false
	-----
	Plane #0 <=> Z 0, C 0, T 0


Reading pixel data (0-0)

Are these the exact same jars that you downloaded?
I'm afraid I can't reproduce the problems you're having here and can only suggest you try again.

 Hope you can get this working.
If it still fails to open, please send us any error messages or other info that might help to fix this.

 Regards,

  Will.
