Additional Information

Additional options are available for reading or writing this format type, see Additional reader and writer options for information.

There are two distinct versions of ND2: an old version, which uses JPEG-2000 compression, and a new version which is either uncompressed or Zip-compressed. We are not aware of the version number or release date for either format.

Bio-Formats uses the JAI Image I/O Tools library to read ND2 files compressed with JPEG-2000.
