tifffile 20111215-2 (powerpc binary) in ubuntu precise

 Only a subset of the TIFF specification is supported, mainly uncompressed and
 losslessly compressed 1-32 bit integer as well as 32 and 64-bit float images,
 which are commonly used in scientific imaging.
 .
 This tool is implemented to support TIFF with custom extensions, namely:
  * STK (MetaMorph)
  * LSM (Carl Zeiss MicroImaging)
 .
 Currently only primary info records are read for STK, FluoView, and NIH image
 formats.
