Description lingfengtang1982 2015-10-09 17:35:37 CDT
Hi, we have a Leica SP8 confocal. I am doing timelapse imaging, and converted the lif file to tiff files. Since the file is huge, we don't want to keep the original lif file. However, if I save the metadata file created by FiJi or FiJi2, it missed some important information, for exampke, the laser I used were 488 and 561 nm, but it only shows 633nm which I didn't use. Did anybody else also report the same problem? Is there any way that can solve this problem? Thank you in advance, and thank you so much for developing the tools!
