Troubleshooting

This usually happens when the image files do not contain the correct metadata.

  • Make sure to save the files with all available metadata on the microscope used for the acquisition. This usually requires to save the files in the software proprietary format (.nd for NIS-Elements and Metamorph, .czi for Zen,...)
  • You can always add the correct calibration values after acquisition (pixel size in XY and Z, wavelength, Z-step)

FAQ

Yes but... to do so you need to request permission to the platform manager.
