Dear programmers/developers of Chimera! I am writing because many of our users display their 3D results obtained with our IMAGIC-5 software with your Chimera program. We would be interested to create a more direct coupling to Chimera which I believe would be to everyone's advantage. We as the Image Science company maintain and distribute (free of charge) a universal data conversion program called EM2EM which most people in the 3DEM ("3D electron microscopy") community use to convert their results into various formats such as MRC/CCP4 that is compatible with Chimera directly. The data format of our IMAGIC-5 software is comparable to MRC/CCP4 but is a bit richer because it also supports sequences of 3D volumes in a file. Is it possible to achieve a closer integration with your Chimera program? And if yes, how can we proceed? Thank you and kind regards Michael Schatz Image Science www.ImageScience.de www.ImageScience.de/imagic www.ImageScience.de/formats
