Navigation through large microscopical images is a potential benefit for histology or pathology teaching, quality of diagnosis in pathology or communication between pathologists in some telemedicine applications. However, the size of this kind of images is prohibitive for navigation with conventional techniques. This paper presents a system which constructs large microscopical images and descri...
