Hi Luis,
Bio-Formats does not yet support CellSens .vsi data, but there are plans
to support it in the near future (< 4 months). Please see this ticket
on our issue tracking system for more information:
http://dev.loci.wisc.edu/trac/software/ticket/573If you (or anyone else) would like to be automatically notified of updates to
.vsi support, please let me know and I will happily CC you on that ticket.
Note, however, that we currently have just one .vsi dataset. While we
can add support based on one dataset, it will not be very well tested,
and so some features of the format may be incorrectly implemented. If
possible, it would be very helpful if you could send one or more of your
complete .vsi datasets. I have sent you the Bio-Formats SFTP server information privately in case you are interested in sending data.
Regards,
-Melissa
