.ND2 reader in BioFormats

lechristophe
Hi,

This is primarily a BioFormat question.

I'm trying to open a big Nikon .nd2 files in Fiji using BioFormats (not the
new SciFiIO) in Fiji, Windows 7 64 bits, 64GB RAM. The "Reading file header
part" usually peaks well above the actual file size with 17.6 GB (on ImageJ
memory monitor) for a 6.3 GB nd2 file. For a 15.9 GB file, it maxes out the
60 GB allocated to Fiji. As it is the header reading part, it does not make
a difference to try to open as a virtual stack or not.

Is this a known situation? What are my options for opening these files?

Thanks for your help,

Christophe

Have you tried standard IJ1 plus bioformats? It always seems to work
better than FIJI/IJ2 in my experience.
Cheers

Sorry to hear that. The ImageJ2 team would appreciate issue reports
regarding any specific behavior of ImageJ2 and/or Fiji that does not work
as well as vanilla ImageJ1.

Curtis

The best place for Bio-Formats questions is the ome-users mailing list.

Hi Christophe,

You can also go through the Bio-Formats bug reporting process
<http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/bio-formats5/about/bug-reporting.html>.
If is a previously unknown bug, the Bio-Formats developers might ask you to
upload a sample dataset demonstrating this issue for them to analyze.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Curtis,

I have forwarded my question to the ome-users list, thanks for the tip.

The last part about strategies other than Bio-Formats to open/convert .nd2
files in ImageJ is an ImageJ question though. I have found a mention of
this plugin on the .nd2 page of Bio-Formats:
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/plugins/nd2-reader.html

Best Regards,

Christophe
