LSM 510 Meta Training Notes
Database Structure and Accessing Files
z When you create a new database, the software automatically creates a new folder
with the database name. In that folder, you will find the database file and your .lsm
image files. These files are tiff files with Zeiss acquisition information stored in the
header.
z If you want to delete files from your database, do so using the Zeiss software rather
than manually deleting the files directly from the folder. Deleting the files manually
has created problems with the database in the past.
z You can open the files via the database with the free Zeiss LSM Image Browser,
available from their web site,
http://www.zeiss.com/micro
, or with an ImageJ plugin,
the Zeiss LSM Reader,
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/index.html
. The files themselves can
also be directly opened with Photoshop however you must use the “Open As” function
and specify that it is a tiff file.
z Be aware that you can have two files with the same name in the database. The
software will not prompt you to overwrite the existing file.
