Edit physical voxel sizes, numerical aperture, lens immersion medium, and embedding medium

Edit per-channel parameters: microscope type, excitation/emission wavelengths, and pinhole size

Deinterleave raw TIFF files as standards-compliant OME-TIFF files

Save and reload parameter sets for quick re-use across acquisitions
