Leica TIFF importer

Tony Collins-2
Hi,

This is one for Leica confocal users...

I've several image sequences acquired with a Leica SP4 confocal.

Each experimental folder has several z-series as multiple tiff files
(one tiff file per 2D (typically X,Y) plane; a Leica *.lei file and a
*.txt file containing all the metadata. I'm not sure if this is a
typical leica series.

All these file are in a single folder making it a little cumbersome to
open individual series with the menu command File/Import/Image sequence
(+ "File Name Contains...").

I've written a plugin to open txt file; read the series names out; then
open the chosen image sequences. It then applies the spatial calibration
read from the txt file. It seems to work OK with my 2 channel XYZ series
but I've no timecourse series to try it out on.

If anybody has Leica timecourses I could have a look at (the txt file in
particular) or would like to try out this early version of the plugin,
the please email me off list.

Thanks,

Tony
