Folder structure and naming for experiments

This is what the folder and file structure for a lattice light sheet experiment at Monash Micro Imaging look like:

Note that is is probably quite similar to any LLS microscope running the Janelia Labview software, but other facilities might be naming/organizing their files slightly differently.

PSF folders

The experiment subfolder PSF contains subfolders for each wavelength with acquisitions of bead images. There are subfolders for Galvo-scanned bead volumes (these are not skewed) and for z-Stage scanned (Scan) bead volumes. lls_dd is looking for the Galvo-scanned bead volumes only. Each PSF acquistion subfolder must contain a .*Settings.txt

Stacks

The experiment subfolder Stacks contains subfolders that represent one time-series acquisition each (IMHO they would more aptly be named Acquistions but I didn't create the naming scheme). Each .tif file in these subfolders holds one raw 3D-stack. The time point and channel wavelength are encoded in the filename of each .tif. Each acquistion subfolder must contain a .*Settings.txt file.

System

The System folder is used internally and not required for lls_dd.
