Also, you could try BIO-FORMATS:

Bet you Andor's TIFF is also known as SIF...

I don't use bioformats directly from idl, but rather use a shell scripts to convert to regular tiff and then get on with it in IDL...

That's very helpful. I'll look into it. For now, all I'm really looking for is 20 lines of code to handle the headers and read the data into an array correctly. I poked around with readu and byteorder but after 15 minutes I decided I shouldn't try to reinvent the wheel.

Bruxton has a package for capturing data capture from Andor cameras, among others, directly from IDL. I don't know if they have a stand-alone image file format reader, however.
