Uploading an Image

Start by uploading an .svs, .tiff, or .ndpi image for optimal results. While you can use .png or .jpg files, please note that virtual gridding functionality may be limited with these formats.

Once the image has been successfully uploaded, click the Proceed button to continue to image segmentation.

No image uploaded.
