I have been reminded that the front page of ADXV's website does not have a link to the "windows version" which requires cygwin, but there is a binary here:
http://www.scripps.edu/~arvai/adxv/adxv_1.9.6/adxv.cygwin.gz

You will need cygwin installed for that to work. Good news is the latest versions of NX client and cygwin no longer fight over the cygwin.dll and you can have them both working happily on a Windows system.



There is also BDXV: an open-source viewer for ADSC-style *.img files being developed by the BSCB here at ALS:

http://bcsb.als.lbl.gov/wiki/index.php/BDXV

You will need GTK installed for this to work.



'Fraid I don't know any viewers that don't require a third-party package on Windows. Unless, of course, you don't mind loading *.img files into your favorite viewer as "raw". Generally, there is a 512-byte header to *.img files, followed by 2-byte integers representing the intensity data (that you may need to byte-swap).

Although the extension *.img is used by more than one detector manufacturer, you are probably looking at data from an ADSC Inc detector? Andy Arvai's "adxv" is a popular viewer for this format:

Run it with the option "-nopixmap" if you are using it inside an NX client.
