1996.12.05 21:24 "Re: (more than 8 bits) TIFF images", by Jason D. Kahn

If not, do you know any viewing tool which is able to display 12 bits-TIFF images?

I believe there are some commercially available deep image viewers.

Molecular Dynamics corporation uses 16-bit TIFF for images of electrophoretic gels, obtained from their Phosphorimagers. I think it's TIFF -- at least they provide a utility to export 8-bit TIFF. They at one time had a modified NIH Image which could handle 16-bit. I don't know if they would be willing to help you.
