Apologies for the long delay in my reply. You can use Bio-Formats to batch
convert ND2 to TIFF, using either the bfconvert command line tool (
http://www.loci.wisc.edu/bio-formats/command-line-tools) or within ImageJ
using a macro, with calls to Bio-Formats Importer and Bio-Formats Exporter
(or ImageJ's built-in Save As TIFF).
