Hi Fabrice,
You could retrieve the timing data using macro code like this:
// -- start macro code ---
run("Bio-Formats Macro Extensions")
// choose a file
id = File.openDialog("Choose a file");
// display the images in the file
Ext.openImagePlus(id);
// read timing metadata from the file
Ext.setId(id);
// 'startDate' is in the ISO 8601 format
Ext.getImageCreationDate(startDate);
Ext.getImageCount(imageCount);
for (i=0; i<imageCount; i++) {
// 'deltaT' is the time at which plane 'i' was acquired,
// in seconds since 'startDate'
Ext.getPlaneTimingDeltaT(deltaT, i);
}
Ext.close();
// -- end macro code --
This code should work for any format support by Bio-Formats, including
Metamorph STK.
Regards,
-Melissa
