[ome-users] dm4 format

Mon Apr 3 10:15:10 BST 2017

Hi Greg,

thanks for your answer and the additional precisions on the original DM3_Reader plugin.

We have not received any community request related to the special handling of some DM3 image
types. Let us know if you have any sample files reflecting this behavior. In the meantime, the
existence of both plugins should allow users to choose their implementation when opening DM3
files.

Best,
Sebastien

I believe this plugin may have slightly different support for a few unusual DM3 image types (e.g. EELS spectra?) compared with the bioformats reader. As mentioned earlier it does not support the DM4 format – and it is rather unlikely that I will spend time to support this given the existence of bioformats.
