[ome-users] Bio-Formats not opening Imaris file with several thousand slices

[Zara Weinberg]

Hello,

I'm acquiring high speed microscopy movies with many frames (~50hz, 6000
frames per movie). My microscope software automatically saves these files
as .ims files, compatible with Imaris 9.0 (I'm guessing these are Imaris
5.5 files, given that). Bio-Formats has no trouble opening much smaller
files from the software, but when trying to open these files in Fiji, I get
the following error:

"[ERROR] bad version 72 at filePos 674029
[ERROR] bad version -29 at filePos 677106
[ERROR] bad version 0 at filePos 677155
[ERROR] bad version 66 at filePos 677103
[ERROR] bad version 20 at filePos 677128
[ERROR] bad version 0 at filePos 677146"

With a dialog box that pops up saying the file is incompatible. Notably,
these files open trivially in Imaris.

Version Information: Mac OS X 10.12.6, ImageJ 1.51w, Bio-Formats 5.8.1,
Java 1.8.0_66 (64-bit)
An example file (with Metadata) has been uploaded at
https://www.openmicroscopy.org/qa2/qa/feedback/20628/.
2018-04-19_18.26.38_Sample
Prefix_2V7DQK2_Protocol.ims is a file that doesn't import,
but 2018-04-16_18.58.13_Sample Prefix_2V7DQK2_Protocol_F01.ims is a file
that imports just fine from the same software (albeit having many fewer
frames).

Thanks so much for any help you can give!
