Read Cellomics® DIB Files

Read .DIB files from Cellomics® HCS Systems

Description

Provided by Jeff Mather...

Files from Cellomics® High Content Screening systems may omit the file header information. This function ignores the missing header and returns the pixels data.
Notes: This function uses TYPECAST to parse the files bytes, which means that it requires R14SP3. This was done because was it easier to prototype, but you could rather easily rework it to use a bunch of smaller FREAD commands.
Also it's worth mentioning that because these are 16-bit images that don't span the full dynamic range of 16-bit data (0 to 65,355), the images will appear very dark without changing the CLim. You can do either of these:

   imshow(X, [])

or

   imagesc(X)
   colormap(gray)
