Multi-channel TIFF file format

qtn
Dear All,

I need to write ImageJ-compatible multi-channel, multi-frame (i.e., multi-page) files from a custom application, with the number of channels ranging from 1 to 4. Typically, the data will consist of multi-channel movies with each pixel of a given channel encoded by 16 bits.

What tags are recognized by ImageJ that will indicate the number of channels and will specify the channel metadata, and how will the pixel data be organized? The fewer tags the better - I am too lazy to write OME-TIFFs.

Thanks in advance.
