  1. # nd2reader
  2. [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/rbnvrw/nd2reader.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/rbnvrw/nd2reader)
  3. ### About
  4. `nd2reader` is a pure-Python package that reads images produced by NIS Elements 4.0+. It has only been definitively tested on NIS Elements 4.30.02 Build 1053. Support for older versions is being actively worked on.
  5. The reader is written in the [pims](https://github.com/soft-matter/pims) framework, enabling easy access to multidimensional files, lazy slicing, and nice display in IPython.
  6. ### Installation
  7. If you don't already have the packages `numpy`, `pims`, `six` and `xmltodict`, they will be installed automatically if you use the `setup.py` script.
  8. `nd2reader` is an order of magnitude faster in Python 3. I recommend using it unless you have no other choice. Python 2.7 and Python >= 3.4 are supported.
  9. ### ND2s
  10. `nd2reader` follows the [pims](https://github.com/soft-matter/pims) framework. To open a file:
  11. ```python
  12. from nd2reader import ND2Reader
  13. images = ND2Reader('my_directory/example.nd2')
  14. ```
  15. After opening the file, all `pims` features are supported. Please refer to the [documentation](http://soft-matter.github.io/pims/).
