## NAME
       bioradtopgm - convert a Biorad confocal file into a portable graymap

## SYNOPSIS
       **bioradtopgm** [**-image#**] [_imagedata_]

## DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a  Biorad  confocal file as input.  Produces a portable graymap as output.  If the re‐
       sulting image is upside down, run it through **pnmflip** **-tb** **.**

## OPTIONS
### -image#
              A Biorad image file may contain more than one image.  With this flag, you can  specify
              which  image  to extract (only one at a time).  The first image in the file has number
              zero.  If no image number is supplied, only information about the image size  and  the
              number of images in the input is printed out.  No output is produced.
