Organ of Corti sample image also fails

CT sample image displays as all gray. It is also 16 bit and thus may be related.

Using the probe tool I've determined that all of these images have a small range of values within the maximum allowed range of 0-65535. It seems the image drawing code is not scaling the pixel values to a sensible display range. The code for handling and drawing BufferedImages in NavigableImagePanel is using BioFormats' AwtImageTools to create them and then drawing them with Java graphics code. Not sure where range scaling should be taking place. Is this something that should be done when color display and autoscaling is done for alpha 2?

Yes, color scaling is targeted for 2.0-alpha2. Changing milestone and assigning to Grant, who is in charge of this work.
