TW for presenting microscope slides (or other high resolution images)

[Anjar]

Hi,

I was thinking that TW would provide a nice environment for presenting microscope slides - especially if one could utilise a viewer such as OpenSeaDragon to embed the images themselves, with features including zoom and overlayed comments. Then one could make compendia in histology, make a presentation layer of ones microscope slides to share with colleagues or maybe display ones collection of historical maps/comics etc etc

I haven't started experimenting yet, but does anyone have experiences presenting high resolution images or similar? Or just having any thoughts, comments or associations?

Best,

Anders

Tiddlywiki would work nicely for this however it depends on the total size of the media since unless you use a server, skinny tiddlers or external images the whole content needs to be loaded into the browser.

Setting a splash screen help people know your wiki is loading is helpful.

Hello.  Embedding images can be an issue-- the image fill size adds to the wiki file size and can become an issue if too many images are embedded.  I use external image references that load the image only when the tiddler that contains it is opened (just like a standard web page).  For multiple images layering or an annotation overlay, I use my layered image tiddlers with "now you see it, now you don't"* technology.  (patent pending till the patent office takes me seriously : D ) (Basically absoute positioned image & svg text overlay container div's)
