Hi,

I am currently using your tools for the images I make at the Zeiss SEM in our university. So far it works great, but I have found a little bug. If the scale is below the nm regime, our microscope (I am not shure if this is the case for every Zeiss microscope) sets the scale in values of pm instead of nm or µm. Therefore, the plugin does not determine the scale of the image all together.
As I looked through the code, I found that the scale is determine to be either ending in nm or um and therefore it does not set the scale, if it is in the um range. This could simply be fixed by adding a check for pm.

I did fix the error my self, however I am not sure how to properly contribute it to your repository. Could you fix this your self or shell I give it a try?

Additionally, we have a second Zeiss SEM, which stores the scale value not as "Image Pixel Size" instead it uses just "Pixel Size". At the moment, I wrote an additional script, where I replaced the metadata name. However, I am not completely sure how to check it either value exists and to use that one.

Thank you very much for your work on the plugin!

Best
Robin

The SEM stage rotation and tilt outputs are actually in radian but labelled in degree in the plugin.

Currently, the FEI databar is recognized by a 1 pix height white line between image and databar. This was developed based on images saved from a relatively older version of FEI xtUI. Images from a later version xtUI does not show this white line and cause the plugin to malfunctioning - generating a 1 pix height databar file.

This can be rewrite to set a known image pixel resolution in a dialog box.

Detect the "footprint" of image file and automatically call the suitable plugin.
