Open multi page tif

[Maciej Rudzinski]

Hello imagej users,

The images I'd like to analyze are stored as a multi-page tif files. I couldn't find any way to open these within imagej.
Does anyone have a macro or a plugin for it?
I'd appreciate any hints and comments.

Regards,

Maciej Rudzinski

Dear Maciej,

If your source images are of multi channel fluorescence then you could try our "SmartCapture Reader" in our  "SmartCapture Lite" package.

http://www.dsuk.biz/DSUK/SmartCaptureLite.html

"SmartCapture Reader" will read multi page TIFF files and open them as a Composite Image. It will pickup any (per page) names and colour lookup tables and assign the names to each of the Compoiste Image slices.

You may also want to try our "Composite Adjuster" which makes interactive adjustment the colour balance of multi channel composite images a breeze

See video here:

If you do use it, I'd be interested to know how you (or anyone else) gets on with it.

Have you tried the Bio-Formats Importer
(http://www.loci.wisc.edu/bio-formats)? Bio-Formats is a library that can
open 100s of file formats.

If you're using Fiji (http://fiji.sc/), Bio-Formats is already installed
and you can call the importer via either File>Import>Bio-Formats and
Plugins>LOCI>Bio-Formats Importer.

Ciao,
