  How to use the ZOOMA viewer

I. Display ZOOMA images (virtual slides)

ZOOMA images can be displayed by clicking any thumbnail images or protein names/slice numbers above the thumbnails on the database windows.

  1. When you click on a thumbnail, the ZOOMA image appears in a new window.
  2. When you click on a protein name or a slice number above the thumbnail, the ZOOMA image appears in the same window.

II. Change the display
