Historical imaging, like the little artifact/museum archive browser
made a decade ago and still in use apparently, would prefer
calibration measures far more archaic, put them all in with easy
selection and conversion... There are likely standard conversion libs
(for plugins) if IJ will handle it.
That tool both helped research purposes importing imaging as well as
provided data on the item, most museums have trouble with artifact
measures and placement for things like kids' arm length and ADA,
especially with mobile or special interest exhibits set up at
libraries or schools. Just to name an obvious use where this need is
demonstrated. (yes ancient art is recorded in its real measure, no
infinite resolution decimal inaccuracies)
