Different Types of Content

Image-Pro is able to open and save a wide variety of files and formats.

In addition to different image file formats, Image-Pro can open different types of image sets and Media Cybernetics experiment files.

Images, or single frames, come in many different formats and types. Image-Pro can open and read many different formats.

Image sets are collections of images containing more than one variable dimension. A time lapse movie is a simple example of the type of image sets that
Image-Pro is designed to handle. A more complex set may contain time lapse movies at several different positions on the slide, with a Z-series at each time and spatial position.  It is possible to create image sets that have multiple channels, stage positions (user defined or arrayed), Z slices, images per stage position (tiles), and time points. In an image set, we still have multiple frames, but we know why – there are multiple channels, or the stage moved, or the focus changed, etc.

Experiments are image files that contain different types of content stored in one, often very large, file.
