Bio-Formats
The Bio-Formats Library
Bio-Formats, the solution for reading proprietary microscopy image data and metadata.
Bio-Formats is a software tool for reading and writing image data using standardized, open formats. Bio-Formats is a community driven project with a standardized application interface that supports open source analysis programs like ImageJ, CellProfiler and Icy, informatics solutions like OMERO and the JCB DataViewer, and commercial programs like Matlab.
Bio-Formats is developed by the Open Microscopy Environment consortium, including development teams at LOCI at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Dundee and Glencoe Software. Licensing and citing information is on the OME licensing page.
Bio-Formats currently reads and converts more than 120 file formats to the OME-TIFF data standard.
