2.2  Biorad Confocal

The Biorad Confocal importer imports files from a Biorad MRC 600 confocal microscope. In addition to reading the standard image metadata into a record of class "Biorad File", the importer reads Lens and Frame Interval settings and reads in the optional "notes" at the end of pic files as name / value pairs. The thumbnail produced is dependant on the "Image Detail" configuration setting. It displays slices of the image stack.
