Description

While trying to read Xenium data with spatialdata_io.xenium(), I get the following error:

The file "path/to/xenium/data/morphology_mip.ome.tif" does not exist.

Inspecting the folder shows that the file is actually named:

morphology.ome.tif

The dataset and software versions are the same as in issue #361:

  • spatialdata_io version: 0.6.0
  • Xenium platform: Xenium Onboard Analysis 4.0.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure through spatialdata_io.xenium() with the Xenium Onboard Analysis 4.0.0 dataset described here, then compare the behavior with issue #361. Trace how the reader locates the morphology image; done means a dataset containing morphology.ome.tif can be read without looking for morphology_mip.ome.tif.
