General description
This page describes the OME-XML file format for Open Microscopy, defined to make it simple to move microscopy data from one site and user to another. This format is related to OME-TIFF, which was developed from it. The format is described on the OME-XML page at the Open Microscopy site.
Other information
NA
Software
The file format can be created, read and manipulated using the Bio-Formats Library and the OMERO Server. There is an OME Validator to check files, which can lso tell you the OME-XML version. However, almost any software can read the files; you don't need OME software to use OME-XML.
Sample files

Identification
