 ||HDF5 ||hdf ||Y ||Y ||Y ||Y ||Y ||Y ||Y ||HDF5 is an international standard for scientific data (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/). It supports arbitrary metadata (header info) and is very portable. This is the standard interchange format for EMAN2. Chimera can read EMAN2 style HDF files. ||
 ||LST ||lst ||Y ||Y ||Y ||Y || ||N ||N ||(see below for usage tips) ASCII file contains a list of image file names and numbers with optional metadata. EMAN2 treats these files as actual image files. Two variants, LST and LSX. LSX has the additional restraint that all lines have the same length. Can be manipulated with the //LSXFile// clas in Python or can be treated like any other image file, eg - opened with //EMData.read_image// ||

 ||PIF ||pif ||Y ||Y ||Y ||Y || ||N ||N ||Purdue Image Format. This will read most, but not all PIF images. Recent support added for mode 40 and 46 (boxed particles). Some of the FFT formats cannot be read by EMAN2. PIF writing is normally done in FLOAT mode, which is not used very often in PIF. PIF technically permits only images with odd dimensions, EMAN does not enforce this. ||
 ||BDB ||N/A ||Y ||Y ||Y ||Y || ||N ||Y ||This entry is for EMAN2's (retired) embedded database system. While it is still possible to read/write BDB's for backwards compatibility, we do not suggest any new use of this format in EMAN2 (SPARX still uses it for many operations) ||
