Description
The Nanozoomer slide scanning system provides 460nm resolution scans of complete slides. The Nanozoomer will automatically load slides, choose an area to scan, focus on the tissue sections, and scan the slide. The resulting data files are typically a proprietary file format and can be viewed with the free NDP view software.
NDP.view is required to view these images. Download and install the software before downloading the image files. NDP view runs on 32 bit and 64 bit Windows machines (Windows XP, Windows 7).
