Missing tiles in Xenium H&E image

[marcovarrone]

I ran xenium() with default parameters on official data from 10x Genomics (such as https://www.10xgenomics.com/datasets/ffpe-human-breast-with-custom-add-on-panel-1-standard).

However, I noticed that when I plotted the H&E image using the spatialdata-plot package, there were some missing tiles, as shown in the following image:

The missing tiles are always the same if I run xenium() multiple times, so it doesn't look like a random drop.

I checked the original .ome.tif image in QuPath and there are no missing tiles.

Packages version:

• spatialdata = 0.2.5
• spatialdata-io = 0.1.5
• spatialdata-plot = 0.2.7
