  Description     : Solution for reading proprietary microscopy image data and metadata

 Standalone Java library for reading and writing life sciences
 image file formats. It is capable of parsing both pixels and metadata for a
 large number of formats, as well as writing to several formats.

 Bio-Formats's primary purpose is to convert proprietary microscopy data into an
 open standard called the OME data model, particularly into the OME-TIFF file
 format.
