There is no obvious available MATLAB source for that. The virtual protocols are not documented in any obvious place -- and if they were then it would probably not matter as you appear to be running some weird standalone system.

When I look at https://www.openmicroscopy.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1244&start=10 it appears to me that there is Java software named 'Fiji' that might be able to handle some of the protocols. If it is still available then it could probably be called from MATLAB. Which might or might not be useful on your weird standalone system.

Thank you for this.

Dear Walter,

I thought that you might be interested in this: The bio-formats implemented in MATLAB apparently you can open the VSI file with it.

That looks like it is potentially useful.
