File Format
Name MRC
Ontology
Extension(s) .mrc
This is the microscope image format. See Mixed Raster Content for the graphic compression format, and MIRC scripting language for the scripting language which sometimes uses a .mrc extension.

MRC is a format for representing microscope images used in processing microbiological or chemical data, storing its data in "voxels".

The varieties of this format are used for 3D imaging in electromicroscopy, storing a map of electron density. There is an obsolete pre-2000 MRC format, a newer MRC 2000 format, and some format variations on the older format. Files start with a 1024-byte header organized into 56 words followed by 10 80-byte text labels.

Software

  • IMOD (mrc2tif, tif2mrc)
  • XnView (Claims to support MRC, but could not confirm that it works.)
