[Xerte] Re: Xerte and PathXL

[Elly Langewis]

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
