Each of the slices view can be changed to a MIP (Maximum Intensity Projection) view. This
takes all the slices together and calculates the maximum brightness. This is very useful to find
calcifications and markers within the tissue.
In this example the top image is the MIP view. By grabbing the line in the top view with a left
click and hold, the user can move to a position that disects an area of interest, like a calcification
circled below. Then in the corresponding slice view the position of that calcifications can be
seen relative to the true edge of the specimen in the corresponding view below.
To switch between MIP and SLICE view simply click on the word in the bottom left corner.
