Hi James,

We tried checking the validity of ome-xml and found that the ome-xml is invalid in this file.
This suggests that the ome-tiff was not written properly, by the acquisition software.

And if you had opened the file as Curtis suggested: then Fiji reads the file as a regular multi-page TIFF, and thus treats it as a time series.

Stack trace for ./xmlvalid (from bfttols):
ls29010:bftools bramalingam$ ./xmlvalid /Volumes/ome/apache_repo/17373/Z_Time.tif

Hope that helps.

Best,
Balaji
