This application was created by the NYU School of Medicine Division of Educational Informatics: William Holloway, Eunbong Sohn, and Marc Triola MD. The Virtual Microscope uses the Google Maps API to display, annotate, and navigate scanned slides.

The working NYU site is available here: http://informatics.med.nyu.edu/virtualmicroscope

This project consists of two components:

• A Python script to convert slide files obtained by scanners from Aperio into the Google Maps format.
• An example viewer upon which you can base your local instance
