Often, it's useful for users to compare different results on a pathology slide image. To facilitate this, caMicrocope supports viewing the same image with different results, such as heatmaps, segmentations, and annotations, in a coordinated fashion. Since adjacent tissue slice images are usually quite similar, it can be useful to have a similar coordination between different images.
This project focuses on extending the support for comparing different results on two tissue slice images simultaneously in a coordinated fashion. The two different tissue samples may be differently situated in their images, and may require a user to change scale, position, and rotation to sync up the two images. Since caMicroscope does not yet support comparison of different results on a rotated image, support for rotation is also to be extended.
- Feature Name: crossviewer
- Functionalities Introduced:
- Viewing two different tissue slice images simultaneously
- Rotation of tissue slice images
- Pan, Zoom and Rotation synchronisation of two different slice images
- Comparison of different results(annotations, preset labels, rulers, segmentations, magnifyer) on two tissue slice images simultaneously
- Screenshot of the two tissue images in side by side mode

- Tutorial of the crossviewer tools.
-
- Open one of the two slides you want to view in viewer.
- In viewer page, click on the crossviewer tool.
- A popup window listing all the available slides appears, click on the open button of the slide you want to view in crossviewer along with the already visible slide.
| Tool | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
 |
Layer Manager | Opens the Layers Manager panel, where you can:
|
 |
Viewer | Return to the viewer so that you can open another slide in crossviewer along with the slide in left viewer |
 |
Draw | Draw thin lines, thick lines, or polygons on the image. To maintain the integrity of measurements, avoid drawing shapes that overlap or intersect one another.This is a dropdown menu consisting of a button for draw on left viewer (icon : left arrow) and right viewer (icon : right arrow) |
 |
Preset Labels | Use a preset annotation type immediately to quickly annotate the two slides consistently. |
 |
Magnifier | The Magnifier works like a magnifying glass and allows you to see the slide at normal magnification (1.0), low magnification (0.5), or high magnification (2.0). Click a magnification level and place the bounding box on the area of the slide you want to magnify. |
 |
Measurement | Drag this tool on any of the two slides to learn the measurement in micrometers. |
 |
Slide Capture | Click to take a screenshot of the slides and results on it (annotations, heatmaps and rulers). |
 |
Tutorial | Click to view a guided tour of the crossviewer tools. |
