The Image Cytometry Standard (ICS) is a file format for images, primarily in microscopy imaging. The file format has been described by Dean1990. ICS files allow to store further information on the imaging system along with the actual image (e.g aperture, light setting, microscope, and camera). Moreover, the file format allows to store several integer format, floating point images as well as complex valued images.
The library libics is a C library to read an write ICS image files. This module wraps the functions provided by libics to Python. Actual image data are returned as numpy arrays. Numpy array in turn can be written to ICS image files.
