Unit of length in ome tiff

[felix gorny]

Hi guys,

I wonder if the ome tiff specifies its values (e.g. PhysicalSizeX="0.1069652") with a unit of length?
I couldn't find anything concerning this topic neither in the specifications, in this forum nor in ome tiff files.
Or is it micrometer by definition?

Thanks & regards,
felix

Hello Felix,

It is in microns.

The units or [units:none] is listed in the annotation on each value. The full list is here:

Hope this helps,
