Dear Ralph
 
We have had a similar problem. The Biorad file (as I remember it
-others please correct if I'm wrong) has a 512 byte header with lots
of info about the picture etc. To translate the file from Zeiss tiff
you will have to read the Zeiss header to get the resolution info etc.
I have a Zeiss but I don't have the information on the Zeiss header.
Perhaps someone else in the group has this info. in which case I would
like it for future reference also. In any case, a special prgram will
probably have to be written (by someone) to create a pic. file...
