Technical note

LIF to STL: what carries over and what does not

LIF is made of pixels and STL is a geometry format, so the two describe shape in fundamentally different ways. Check the result before sending it downstream: what matters is whether the output contains usable geometry or a picture placed inside a STL container.

FAQ

LIF to STL Conversion

What are LIF files?

Leica LIF (Leica Image Format) is a proprietary microscopy file format developed by Leica Microsystems for storing multidimensional imaging data. It can contain multiple images, channels, time series, and metadata such as acquisition settings and calibration details within a single file. LIF files are widely used in scientific research and imaging workflows, particularly in fluorescence and confocal microscopy.

What are STL files?

STL is the proprietary format for a computer-aided design (CAD) program developed by 3D Systems.
