Zeiss CZI

[Yves Sucaet]

I can confirm that it *is* an open format. Zeiss has specifications on their
website, and provides a Windows dll to read it (we've incorporated it into our
own software, outside OpenSlide). The CZI format was designed to mimic open
microscopy environment (OME) specifications (http://www.openmicroscopy.org).
It is intended to be maximally compatible with OME tiff and XML data formats,
while maintaining the specifications that are essential to optimizing the use
of Carl Zeiss ZEN software.

I just recently provided an example file for the community to Benjamin.
The format is open to the public by Zeiss. I talked to their sales rep
and they told me that they support an open format for everyone to use it.
However, I cannot contribute to the OpenSlide code as I am not good in C :)
