Open Image Sequence as Hyperstack

lechristophe
Dear all,
I have a bunch of images that are :

image01_ch01
image01_ch02
image01_ch03
image02_ch01
image02_ch02
image02_ch03
image03_ch01

... and so on.

I'd like to open them as an Hyperstack with ch_ as channels and the
image counter as time points or z-slice, to browse efficacely the
whole set of data.
An Import Sequence... command that allow to specify that would be
cool, but doesn't exist. If I import all the sequence as a stack, what
is the most efficient way to transform it into an hyperstack ?

Hi Christophe,

This situation is what the Bio-Formats Importer's "group files with similar
names" option is designed to handle. It should find two "numerical blocks"
and detect the correct numbering for each. For the "_ch" numbering,
Bio-Formats will assume the axis is for channels. For "image" it will be
unsure, but should guess either Z or T. Thus, if you open as a hyperstack,
you should have two axes. Please let me know if not and we will investigate.

We are planning to include a few more graphical tools for controlling
exactly how axes are detected and assigned, but have not yet had time to do
so. As always, if you have any suggestions, please let us know.
