Allows reading Bio-Rad *.1sc image/analysis files.

Project description

Python Package to read, parse, convert *.1sc files generated by Bio-Rad Quantity One software.

Also installs bio1sc2tiff command-line executable to convert *.1sc files to *.tif images.

Also installs bio1scmeta command-line executable to report all metadata contained in each *.1sc file to a text file.

An optional dependency: numpy. If present, image operations in biorad1sc_reader will run 4x to 5x faster.

    • Current info
      • Scanner Name: <Scanner Name>

      • Number of Pixels: (<img_size_x> x <img_size_y>)

      • Image Area: (<img_size_x> mm x <img_size_y> mm)

      • Scan Memory Size: <total_img_size> Kb

      • Quantity One <Quantity One Version String>

  • python2 (lack of) support
    • I’m currently unwilling to support python2

    • If you’d like python2 support, it’s DIY. :)

Examples

# setup reader with input file
import bio1sc_reader
myreader = bio1sc_reader.Reader("my_biorad_file.1sc")

# get list/dict of all metadata in 1sc file
my_img_metadata = myreader.get_metadata()

# get a more succinct data structure of all metadata in 1sc file
my_img_metadata = myreader.get_metadata_compact()

# get a quick summary of some metadata about the image in the 1sc file
my_img_metadata = myreader.get_img_summary()

# Different options for writing image data out as a TIFF file
myreader.save_img_as_tif("unscaled_brightness.tif")
myreader.save_img_as_tif("unscaled_inverted_brightness.tif", invert=True)
myreader.save_img_as_tif_sc("scaled_brightness.tif")
myreader.save_img_as_tif_sc("scaled_brightness_more.tif", scale=0.8)
myreader.save_img_as_tif_sc("scaled_inverted_brightness.tif", invert=True)
