OMERewriter

A tool to edit common fields in OME-TIFF files and to rewrite the output of ScanImage TIFF files into metadata-rich OME-TIFF files.

Features

• Open and inspect OME-TIFF files, including multi-channel Z-stack images
• Edit metadata - physical voxel sizes, numerical aperture, lens immersion, embedding medium, etc.
• Edit channel parameters, like microscope type, excitation/emission wavelengths, pinhole size, etc.
• Deinterleave raw TIFF files to save them as standards-compliant OME-TIFF files
• Save and reload parameter sets for quick re-use across acquisitions
