Despite the fact that IMOD insists it can read 16-bit MRC files, I have found that header...can't. I wrote quick and dirty python version to get the information I'm usually looking for (I'm sure smarter people will have opinions, but this works).

There's an MRC 16-bit image file format reader here for #FijiSc: https://github.com/fiji/IO/blob/master/src/main/java/sc/fiji/io/Open_MRC_Leginon.java

The header includes MRC format details for documentation.

I wrote it.
