Dear Kenneth,


If  you are going write a reader for these .vsi,
I strongly suggest you do it in close collaboration with the bio-formats team from LOCI,

you can checkout the bio-formats code via svn,
and talk to those guys about how to write a new reader,
and reuse all the parts from bio-formats possible.

Then you can contribute the reader to the bio-formats project,
and help out al the others who have these files.

Maybe my local Olympus rep (ccd here)
can provide us with the file specification documents
or at least point us to where to find them.

I never heard of this file format before.

What  olympus imaging system is it from ?

cheers
Dan
