Structure:
IPW files are actually a variant of Microsoft's
OLE 2 document format.
They contain embedded TIFF files, along with minimal metadata needed to read
the images. The IPW format does support storing multiple datasets within the
same file; however, this is not implemented in Bio-Formats (if you have an IPW
file with multiple datasets, please send it to us and we will add support for
it).
Note that you will need to install
Jakarta POI in order to read IPW files.
