Class: Image

This element describes the actual image and its meta-data.

The elements that are references (ending in Ref or Settings) refer to elements defined outside of the Image element. Ref elements are simple links, while Settings elements are links with additional values. If any of the required Image attributes or elements are missing, its guaranteed to be an invalid document. The required attributes and elements are ID and Pixels. ExperimenterRef is required for all Images with well formed LSIDs. ImageType is a vendor-specific designation of the type of image this is. Examples of ImageType include ‘STK’, ‘SoftWorx’, etc. The Name attributes are in all cases the name of the element instance. In this case, the name of the image, not necessarily the filename. Physical size of pixels are microns[µm].

Attributes

acquisition_date : None | datetime The acquisition date of the Image. The element contains an xsd:dateTime string based on the ISO 8601 format (i.e. 1988-04-07T18:39:09.359) YYYY-MM- DDTHH:mm:SS.sssZ Y - Year M - Month D - Day H - Hour m - minutes S - Seconds s - sub-seconds (optional) Z - Zone (optional) +HH:mm or -HH:mm or Z for UTC Note: xsd:dataTime supports a very wide date range with unlimited precision. The full date range and precision are not typically supported by platform- and language-specific libraries. Where the supported time precision is less than the precision used by the xsd:dateTime timestamp there will be loss of precision; this will typically occur via direct truncation or (less commonly) rounding. The year value can be large and/or negative. Any value covering the current or last century should be correctly processed, but some systems cannot process earlier dates. The sub-second value is defined as an unlimited number of digits after the decimal point. In Java a minimum of millisecond precision is guaranteed. In C++ microsecond precision is guaranteed, with nanosecond precision being available on some platforms. Time zones are supported, eg ‘2013-10-24T11:52:33+01:00’ for Paris, but in most cases it will be converted to UTC when the timestamp is written. experimenter_ref : None | ExperimenterRef (The Image ExperimenterRef). description : None | str A description for the image. [plain-text multi-line string] experiment_ref : None | ExperimentRef (The Image ExperimentRef). experimenter_group_ref : None | ExperimenterGroupRef (The Image ExperimenterGroupRef). instrument_ref : None | InstrumentRef (The Image InstrumentRef). objective_settings : None | ObjectiveSettings (The Image ObjectiveSettings). imaging_environment : None | ImagingEnvironment (The Image ImagingEnvironment). stage_label : None | StageLabel (The Image StageLabel). pixels : Pixels (The Image Pixels). roi_ref : list[ROIRef] (The Image ROIRefs). microbeam_manipulation_ref : list[MicrobeamManipulationRef] (The Image MicrobeamManipulationRefs). annotation_ref : list[AnnotationRef] (The Image AnnotationRefs). id : str (The Image ID). name : None | str (The Image Name).
