ImageReadLSM

Read Zeiss LSM image from file (in dipIO)

SYNOPSIS

#include "dipio_lsm.h"

dip_Error dipio_ImageReadLSM ( image, filename, offset, roisize, sampling, imInfo, resources )

FUNCTION

This function reads the image in the Zeiss LSM file and puts it in image. image must be allocated before calling this function. Depending on the recording mode and the number of channels recorded, an image with 2 to 5 dimensions is returned. If multiple channels were recorded, they will be put along the last dimension (which can be either the third, fourth or fifth). The "stack", "time series plane" ans "time series z-scan" recording modes return a 3D image, the "time series stack" returns a 4D image, all other modes return a 2D image (including the "line" mode).

imInfo->physDims contains information on the distance between pixels. resources is only used to allocate the imInfo structure, so if imInfo is 0, resources can be 0 too.

offset, roisize and sampling define a region of interest to read in. See the comments in ImageReadROI for more information on this. Note that the channel dimension is part of this ROI.
