Overview

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.

TIFF, the Tagged Image File Format, is under the control of Adobe Systems. STK and LSM are TIFF with custom extensions used by MetaMorph respectively Carl Zeiss MicroImaging. Currently only primary info records are read for STK, FluoView, and NIH image formats.
