public class IM3Reader
extends FormatReader
```
Author:

Lee Kamentsky This is a FormatReader for the Perkin-Elmer Nuance line of multispectral imaging microscopes' .im3 file format. The .im3 format stores 63 planes representing intensity measurements taken on separate spectral bands. The pixel intensity at a single band might be used as a proxy for fluorophore presence, but the best results are obtained if the whole spectrum is used to synthesize an intensity. The most efficient strategy is to use IM3Reader.openRaw() to fetch the entire image which may then be scanned sequentially to create one planar image per desired signal. IM3Reader may be run as a Java application to dump a per-record description of the file to standard output

    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Obtains a sub-image of the specified image plane into a pre-allocated byte array.
    
    Specified by:
    
    openBytes in interface IFormatReader
    
    Specified by:
    
    openBytes in class FormatReader
    
    Parameters:
    
    no - the image index within the file.
    
    buf - a pre-allocated buffer.
    
    x - X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the sub-image
    
    y - Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the sub-image
    
    w - width of the sub-image
    
    h - height of the sub-image
    
    Returns:
    
    the pre-allocated buffer buf for convenience.
    
    Throws:
    
    FormatException - if there was a problem parsing the metadata of the file.
    
    java.io.IOException - if there was a problem reading the file.
  - openRaw
```
public byte[] openRaw()
               throws java.io.IOException
```
    Open the current series in raw-mode, returning the interleaved image bytes. The data format for a pixel is a run of 63 unsigned short little endian values.
    
    Returns:
    
    a byte array containing the data organized by spectral channel, then x, then y. Returns null if, for some incomprehensible reason, the DATA block was missing.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - getSpectra
```
public java.util.List<IM3Reader.Spectrum> getSpectra()
```
    If a Nuance file is a spectral library set (.csl) file, there is a spectral library inside that contains a profile of spectral bin magnitudes for each of several measured fluorophores (or auto fluorescence). This method finds the spectral library and returns the spectra inside.
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of the Spectrum records contained in the library

    Description copied from class: FormatReader
    
    Initializes the given file (parsing header information, etc.). Most subclasses should override this method to perform initialization operations such as parsing metadata.
    
    Overrides:
    
    initFile in class FormatReader
    
    Throws:
    
    FormatException - if a parsing error occurs processing the file.

```
    Parse a string from the IM3 file at the current file pointer loc
    
    Parameters:
    
    is - stream to read from
    
    Returns:
    
    parsed string or null for string of zero length

```
    Parse an IM3 record at the current file pointer location
    
    Parameters:
    
    is - random access stream, pointing at the record's start (the length-quadword of the record's tag name)
    
    Returns:
    
    an IM3Record or subclass depending on the record's type
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - on file misparsing leading to overrun and other
  - isThisType

    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Closes the currently open file. If the flag is set, this is all that happens; if unset, it is equivalent to calling Closeable.close().
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface IFormatReader
    
    Overrides:
    
    close in class FormatReader
