OMERewriter is a desktop application for microscopy imaging workflows that focuses on working with OME-TIFF metadata.
It can inspect existing OME-TIFF datasets and helps convert ScanImage TIFF output into metadata-rich, standards-compliant OME-TIFF files, making it useful for researchers who need to correct, enrich, or standardize image metadata for downstream analysis.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Opens and inspects OME-TIFF files, including multi-channel Z-stack images.
- Edits metadata such as physical voxel sizes, numerical aperture, lens immersion, and embedding medium.
- Adjusts channel-specific parameters including microscope type, excitation and emission wavelengths, and pinhole size.
- Deinterleaves raw TIFF files and saves them as standards-compliant OME-TIFF files.
- Saves and reloads parameter sets for quick reuse across acquisitions.
