caMicroscope caMicroscope is a digital pathology data management, visualization, and analysis platform. It tool to view, annotate, and analyze biomedical images. It consists of a set of web services to manage digital pathology images, associated clinical and imaging metadata, and human/machine generated annotations and markups. It also allows you to view and analyze nuclear segmentations of images. caMicroscope hosts whole-slide, pancreatic cancer tissue images for review by pathologists.

Image Analysis

Not yet available.

Zooming In and Out

To zoom in on the image, click the main content window with your mouse. Each time you click, the view zooms in further, the scale updates, and the bounding box in the inset window changes to show how much of the total image is in the main content window. When you are zoomed in very far, the bounding box may not be visible. Zooming out reverses this process.
