Overview

Stack Image Viewer is a free image stack viewer developed by Indigo Scientific for browsing TIFF/TIF stacks and large serial image datasets on Windows.

Rather than loading an entire multi-gigabyte or terabyte dataset into RAM, images are loaded individually as you move through the stack. This makes it practical to rapidly browse large microscopy datasets using a simple image index slider.

The viewer was originally developed for successive microscopy techniques such as High Resolution Episcopic Microscopy (HREM) and block-face imaging, where hundreds or thousands of sequential sections need to be inspected quickly. It can also be used with serial datasets generated using light-sheet microscopy, micro-CT and other 3D imaging techniques.

Features

The stack viewer comes with features to present and view 2D files with ease in succession from creating MP4 movies to annotation without complex loading.

The software interface features easy-to-use pan and zoom controls, allowing seamless navigation through the intricate layers of the heart tissue, ideal for analyzing HREM datasets.

TIFF/TIF and general image stack viewing

Browse serial TIFF, TIF, PNG, JPEG, BMP and other supported image sequences.

Large dataset support

View image stacks without loading the entire dataset into memory.

Distance measurements

Draw measurement lines directly over an image. Calibrated images display real-world measurements uncalibrated images can be measured in pixels.

Fast stack navigation

Navigate through large image datasets using an image slider, previous/next controls or direct image index selection.

Adjustable image downscaling

Reduce display resolution for faster navigation through very large images.

Fly-through video creation

Draw measurement lines directly over an image. Calibrated images display real-world measurements uncalibrated images can be measured in pixels.

Pan and zoom viewer

Inspect individual sections with flexible zoom and image movement controls.

Physical image dimensions

Read TIFF resolution metadata where available and display image width, height and pixel calibration.

Multi-page TIFF viewing

Open and navigate multi-page TIF/TIFF files.

Applications

This stack viewer can be used for any serial dataset for TIF and TIFF images. Designed for large gigabyte/terabyte stacks that require large transitions between images without loading the whole stack into the RAM.

Visualise 2D sections of mice, zebrafish, agricultural samples imaged with High Resolution Episcopic Microscopy(HREM) or from other technologies and techniques such as Light Sheet or Micro CT.
