• The DMetrix scanner takes only one image of a microscope slide: A sharp,
ultra-high-resolution, grain-free image of the specimen. At this level of
resolution, a scan can produce up to 12 Gigabytes (12,000,000,000 bytes) of
image data.
• When viewing a DMetrix image on a computer monitor, the user can choose a reduced level of detail and view a larger segment of the specimen. • Alternatively, the DMetrix image can serve immediately as input to a segmentation or morphometric-analysis algorithm.
