How do I import images from Imaris into Huygens?
Save the images either as Imaris-Classic or ICS. ICS is preferred, but unfortunately Imaris does not write ICS files always correctly. The Huygens software has build-in workarounds to still read such files. It should be noted here that microscopic parameters are often missing in ICS files written by Imaris.
The current native file format for Imaris is an HDF variant. Huygens supports the HDF format as well and should not give problems when loaded in Huygens. However, Imaris stores the metadata in a separate section, which is not read properly. In some cases a black border could be added to the image, which can be cropped using the crop-tool.
The previous native file format for Imaris was 'Imaris3'. Huygens does not support the Imaris3 format directly; instead Imaris3 files, being a Tiff variant, are read in by the standard Tiff 6 library which only recognizes the first plane.
