Bio-Formats is not likely to support the full range of metadata that is included in .sld files, and so exporting to OME-TIFF from SlideBook is the best way to ensure that all metadata is preserved. Free software from 3i can export the files to OME-TIFF post-acquisition, see https://www.intelligent-imaging.com/slidebook. 3i also develops a native SlideBook reader which works with Bio-Formats. See http://www.openmicroscopy.org/info/slidebook for details. .. seealso:: `Slidebook software overview `_ .. _Intelligent Imaging Innovations: http://www.intelligent-imaging.com/
