===== nd2reader =====

nd2reader is a pure-Python package that reads images and metadata produced by NIS Elements 4.0+. Images are represented as numpy arrays, which makes it trivial to use with the image analysis packages such as scikit-image and OpenCV.

Install by running: 

''pip install nd2reader''

If you don't have the dependencies (numpy, six, and xmltodict) they will be installed automatically. nd2reader is compatible with Python 2 and 3, however, it is an order of magnitude faster under Python 3.
