OMERewriter is a desktop application for working with microscopy image metadata stored in OME-TIFF files.
It lets users inspect existing OME-TIFF datasets, update common metadata fields, and convert ScanImage TIFF output into metadata-rich OME-TIFF files, making it useful for researchers who need cleaner, standards-compliant imaging data for analysis and archiving.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Opens and inspects OME-TIFF files, including multi-channel Z-stack images.
- Edits acquisition metadata such as physical voxel sizes, numerical aperture, lens immersion, and embedding medium.
- Modifies channel-specific settings 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 multiple acquisitions.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux and Windows.
