View a slide

Clicking an image file in the object browser opens the image viewer, where you can examine whole-slide scans at any zoom level.

The image viewer

Moving around the image

  • Pan by dragging the image.
  • Zoom with the scroll wheel or the magnification presets (for example 5×, 10×, 20×) at the top of the viewer.
  • The navigator (miniature map) shows where you are within the whole slide; click or drag it to jump around.
  • Use Reset View State to return to the starting view.

Channels and colors

  • For multi-channel fluorescence (mIF) images, the viewer shows the channels as tabs or presets; select them to compose the combination you want to examine.
  • Adjust per-channel contrast and brightness to optimize signal visibility, and apply pseudo-colors to distinguish overlapping markers.
  • The Channels / Overlays / Annotations panel toggles each layer and its opacity.

What's next

  • Analyze cell-segmentation overlays and query tabular data on the same image.
  • Run analysis on an image or folder if your organization has compute enabled.

These deeper workflows are covered in the screens and reference sections of this guide.
