Dear Jessica,
My answer to your request depends whether you want to answer your question on a single shot or regular basis ?
For two microscopes I often use, I have written readers interpreting completely the meta data I'm interested in by using either the getMetadata("Info") or File.openAsString(path) methods and decomposing the obtained strings using the split(string, delimiters) method.
But in the case I just need to get such an answer for a single file, I simply use (I'm under Windows) Total Commander (
https://www.ghisler.com) which has a quite powerful file viewer (F3 key) which (by pressing the number keys) allows you to visualize your file in different formats. I choose then one that applies the best and browse through the data to get the information I'm looking for.
Have a nice week-end.
My best regards,
Philippe

Hi
I would like to find out the name of the microscope which was
used to take specific biological images. I have opened up "image
info" while using the bio-formats importer which gave me more
information on image parameters than without, but still no microscope
name.
I was wondering if any body knows how to retrieve this
information with just the image file to hand?
Many
thanks
Jessica
