OME-TIFF to single channel workflow fails if metadata not contained

Describe the bug
Some OME-TIFFs don't have metadata in a format that can be accessed by tifffile
. In this case, the extractor would fail, since this is used to extract the raw channel names.
Expected behavior
If metadata cannot be extracted by tifffile
, then the extractor should still work. However, the user will need to provide an explicit channel list.
Alternatively, see if there is another OME-TIFF reader that can parse these channel names.
To Reproduce
Luke Jones from the University of Birmingham had some example OME-TIFFs that threw an error that the metadata was None
.
