nd2reader
About
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.
The reader is written in the pims framework, enabling easy access to multidimensional files, lazy slicing, and nice display in IPython.
Documentation
The documentation is available here.
Installation
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.
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.
ND2s
nd2reader follows the pims framework. To open a file:
from nd2reader import ND2Reader
images = ND2Reader('my_directory/example.nd2')
After opening the file, all pims features are supported. Please refer to the documentation.
