We are excited to announce the release of Glencoe Software's Bio-Formats 7.3.0, which includes everything in open source Bio-Formats 7.2.0 and 7.3.0 from the Open Microscopy Environment.

Highlights

In addition, the latest release of Bio-Formats includes a fix for the display of original metadata from OME-XML files. This in particular impacts OME-Zarr datasets in OMERO Plus, which should now display their original metadata correctly without needing to re-import.

Don’t miss the latest NGFF-Converter 2.0, released in May. NGFF-Converter 2.0 has been rebuilt from the ground up to provide a more comprehensive interface around the bioformats2raw and raw2ometiff conversion standards.
