File format of the images stored in OMERO.data/Pixels
Posted: Mon May 20, 2013 6:00 pm
Hi ,
I successfully installed the last version of OMERO server and could connect to it both using the web interface and the java clients (on ubuntu Ubuntu 13.04)
I have just a quick question: which format is used to stored the uploaded images? If I understand well, images are uploaded to the server and stored in OMERO.data/Pixels, but using which format ?
I could see that thumbnails are in JPEG format:
~/apps/OMERO/OMERO.data/Thumbnails$ file -i 855
855: image/jpeg; charset=binary
But in Pixels, it looks to be some binary format
~/apps/OMERO/OMERO.data/Pixels$ file -i 855
855: application/octet-stream; charset=binary
How I could open them and retrieve the image?
I tried to use loci to open them (using fiji) without success.
Thanks,
Benjamin
