Details

I'm trying to open a .scn file on a CentOS7 machine using the Python API (version 1.1.1). libtiff5 is already installed, and openslide itself was installed using yum.

When calling openslide.OpenSlide(filename) I receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alisa/PycharmProjects/openslide/read_data.py", line 7, in <module>
    data = openslide.OpenSlide(filename)
  File "/opt/anaconda/anaconda2/envs/oslide/lib/python3.5/site-packages/openslide/__init__.py", line 154, in __init__
    self._osr = lowlevel.open(filename)
  File "/opt/anaconda/anaconda2/envs/oslide/lib/python3.5/site-packages/openslide/lowlevel.py", line 178, in _check_open
    raise OpenSlideError(err)
openslide.lowlevel.OpenSlideError: Couldn't locate TIFF directory for quickhash

Thanks.

you can use bioformats to read scn files. scn are not well opened by openslide.

out = bfopen('D:\QMDownload\6\[failed_handOK]Leica_scn\Leica-Fluorescence-1.scn');
    aMat(:,:,1) = out{1}{1};
    aMat(:,:,2) = out{1}{2};
    aMat(:,:,3) = out{1}{3};
    imshow(aMat);
