This page describes the OME-TIFF file format, created by the Open Microscopy Environment Consortium to combine the strengths of OME-XML and TIFF. The format is described at the OME-TIFF Overview and Rationale page, where there is also a link to the specification.

The file format can be created, read and manipulated using the Bio-Formats Library and the OMERO Server. There is a OME Validator to check files.

Some sample OME-TIFF files are available.

The file extension is .ome.tif and the MIME Type is xxxxx.
