Problem accessing Leica fluorescence images

[Freed, Melanie]

Hi.  I have a bunch of Leica fluorescence images.  Some with 3 channels (red, green, blue) and others with two channels (green, blue).  I'm trying to read them in, but get the following error when I run openslide_get_level_count: "Found multiple macro images".  And when I try to read the dimensions of level 0 using openslide_get_level_dimensions I get a segmentation fault.

I see from the documentation that there may be some problem reading these types of Leica files.  Am I running into this or am I just doing something wrong?  Is there any workaround?  I'm only interested in accessing the highest resolution layer.  My code and output is below (for one of the 3 channel images).

Thanks again,
Melanie

extern "C" {
  #include <openslide.h>
}
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main (int argc, char * argv[])
{

  // Pick Slide
  string fn="data/Slide_901822B_DAPI_CD31_COLIV.scn";
  cout << "File: " << fn << endl;

  // Open Slide
  openslide_t *oslide;
  oslide=openslide_open(fn.c_str());
  if (oslide == NULL) {cout << "Open Slide: Failed" << endl;}
  else {cout << "Open Slide: Successful" << endl;}

  // Get Level Count
  int32_t lc=0;
  lc=openslide_get_level_count(oslide);
  cout << "Level Count: " << lc << endl;
  if (lc == -1)
  {
    cout << "Error: " << endl << openslide_get_error(oslide) << endl;
  }

  //Get Level0 Dimensions
  int64_t * ww=NULL, * hh=NULL;
  openslide_get_level_dimensions(oslide,0,ww,hh);
  if (ww != NULL && hh != NULL)
  {
    cout << "Level 0 Dimensions: " << ww << " x " << hh << endl;
  }

  // Close Slide
  openslide_close(oslide);

  return 0;
}
