Olympus format

[PD Dr. M. Weihrauch]

Dear all:

We recently released the Smart Zoom platform (using openslide), which 
enables Universities to present their teaching slide-set to their 
students in an easy-to-use environment and runs on all (mobile) devices.

However, as we now want to improve our hematology (smarthematology.net), 
we hit a wall when we tried to use an Olympus scanner that can scan at 60x.
Is it correct that openslide cannot read the Olympus format yet?

When I see it correctly, the images are a combination of 1 ".vsi"-file 
and a folder with the same name containing one (to multiple) folder(s) 
with the name(s) "stack000X", which themselves contain a ".ets"-file.

If you want to I can provide you with images that the community can 
freely use for researching the file structure, etc.

Best regards from Germany

Martin
