Hi Joaquim,

It sounds like you opened the file by selecting "File > Open" or by
dragging the file onto the ImageJ toolbar.  If you instead select
"Plugin > LOCI > Bio-Formats Importer" and then choose the .flex file, then
the file should be opened correctly.

Regards,
-Melissa

I do not know whether LOCI is unable to open my images or I'm not able to run it properly. When I try to open my flex file the following error occurs: "File is not supported format, a reader plugin is not available, or it was not found.
