Hello Bimmer,
Your statement that a general TIFF is limited to 3 channels is incorrect. The number of image channels is only limited by the maximum file size. (A common number in general TIFF is 4 - Red, Green, Blue, Alpha.)
So yes, an OME-TIFF can contain more than 3 channels. It uses the same mechanism as general TIFF.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
