Resources

Slide scanning resources:

  • Visit this link to download the Leica ImageScopex64 software for Windows to view Slide Scanner images (.svs files) provided by the core.
  • Unless a researcher provides the core with a flashdrive to store their images, all scanner images will be uploaded to a ShareDrive folder and shared with the researcher. These images will remain available for 30 days, after which time they will be deleted from the shared folder to free up space for other orders.
