Hi everyone!

This might have been asked already, but I couldn't find anything in the
list archives. I have several images from a Carl Zeiss SEM, that I have to
import to process. The images have the scale information embedded so I'd
like to know what's the easiest way to automatically set the scale when
loading the images.

I know they have the scale because I can do
$ grep -ai pixel Q30_cm4937.tif
DP_PIXEL_SIZE
AP_PIXEL_SIZE
Pixel Size = 1.5 nm
AP_IMAGE_PIXEL_SIZE
Image Pixel Size = 1.5 nm

Is there a plugin/macro that I can tweak to do that? I checked the
Bioformats format list, but I didn't see this one there. Any tips are
welcome! In case it's useful, you can download a sample image from
http://ib.cnea.gov.ar/~jaisp/sample.tif

Thank you very much,
