I am using a sophisticated microscope controlled by sophisticated but not ideal software. When doing a timelaps series of images the software spits out multipage TIFFs. I can open those with GraphicConverter, but I don't know how to export them to QuickTime movie.
Does anyone out there have a procedure for accomplishing the task? If it involved GraphicConverter, which I already have, it would be ideal.

there are many ways this can be done -- some w expensive software, some not. the choice would ultimately be determined by the final use (desired output). can you tell us more about what you're looking to do with the end product?

^true. One way I know is to open all the tifs in photoshop, copy and paste to one document, then export to imageready and make each tif a frame and export the .mov from there. I suspect there is a much easier way to do it.
Does quicktime import tif files?

My ideal workflow would be
1. Open multipage TIFF in GraphicConverter.
2. Save as QuickTime...
3. ...with options of codec, frame rate, etc.
In (3) I would choose H.264, or DV, in case I want to shorten the sequence using iMovie.
Ideally, any solution would only minimally diverge from this approach.
I hope this makes things a little clearer.

QuickTime only imports the first frame of a multipage TIFF file. Unfortunately, the QuickTime Player is therefore of no use in this.

How about dragging the TIFFs into iMovie and writing a QuickTime .mov from there? You could apply cross dissolves between stills if you want.

I might give that a try. However
1. I need a way to split my multipage TIFF into individual files first, and,
2. the file contains 1,000 frames, which might pose a challange simply because of the large number of individual files.
