<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, I was wondering whether, as part of Bio-Formats, there is any open-source software to open and view whole slide images (WSI)of different file formats? As many of you know, there are a number of vendor-specific formats such as .svs,
.vsi, .bif, .ndpi, etc. An WSI viewer that could open and display such formats along with capabilities for panning at different magnifications would be valuable.<o:p></o:p></p>
