Thanks. It doesn’t seem to offer any embed code, but the iframe approach should work fine.

Hi Julian,

It is a viewer for microscopic slides, mostly used for pathology slides (hence the name). See also http://www.pathxl.com/.
A (bad) example:
http://www.pathxl.co.uk/iscope/pxlviewer/default.aspx?guid=a1fd1296-1489-4477-82d8-ce96f3efe245&resid=115879
Just to show how it looks, image it is a microscopic slide with some tissue on it (This is a slide with cells stained with fluorescence (three colours), and a Z-stack, which means it has several layers, and I think the scale is way off). You can take measures, make annotations, and a lot more stuff I do not know as I am new to PathXL as well.
Because the images are huge in size, these are hosted by PathXL somewhere in Ireland.

Somewhere I found that Dr. Susan Anderson (Director of Undergraduate Studies and Associate Professor in Pathology, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences) of Nottingham University gave a presentation about PathXL a few years ago, so I reckon the Pathology department could be interested in the combination with Xerte.

Best,

Elly

Hi Julian,

That works! Or indeed with the iFrame button in a text.
Next step: understanding PathXL.

Best,

Yes, if you can embed it, use an iframe. You can put it pretty much anywhere you want, but embed will give it a page to itself,

Hi,

I am looking for a way to use the viewer of PathXL in Xerte. As both packages are used at Nottingham university, I am hoping this has already been done by someone, so I would not have to invent the wheel again (as we say here).
PathXL is a tool for viewing large microscopic images on a computerscreen. It hosts these images, and the viewer has lots of tools for annotating, measuring, zooming etc. Collegues have tried this in Captivate and used an iFrame. Could I use something similar, and use that in the 'Embed Content'?

TIA,

Elly
