 Description: Reads image & metadata from TIFF, STK, LSM, OME-TIFF and FluoView files.
- Various scientific formats are supported, such as uncompressed or losslessly
- compressed integer images of any bit size, 32 and 64-bit floating point images,
- Carl Zeiss LSM files, and MetaMorph(r) STK stacks.
+ Only a subset of the TIFF specification is supported, mainly uncompressed and
+ losslessly compressed 1-32 bit integer as well as 32 and 64-bit float images,
+ which are commonly used in scientific imaging.
+ .
+ This tool is implemented to support TIFF with custom extensions, namely:
+  * STK (MetaMorph)
+  * LSM (Carl Zeiss MicroImaging)
+ .
+ Currently only primary info records are read for STK, FluoView, and NIH image
+ formats.
