vff viwer

  Hello,
I am trying to open micro CT images that were exported as.vff files as a 3D image. I used the "Multi VFF Opener" plugin however I am not able to open any of the images and I get this Exception window:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "mm"
        at sun.misc.FloatingDecimal.readJavaFormatString(FloatingDecimal.java:1224)
        at java.lang.Float.valueOf(Float.java:388)

I am new to the ImageJ and appreciate any help that I can get.

Micro CT images were acquired with GE eXplore Locus and exported from GEHC MicroView.

Thanks,

I just hit the same problem. The header on my vff file had two entries that started with "spacing" one was:
spacing=0.005721 0.005721 0.005721
the other was:
spacingunit=mm;

the vff viewer did not expect the second entry. You can open the vff file in notepadd++, delete the spacingunit entry, and the opener works great.
