What we build

SlideScope is a small, independent software company with a single focus: the desktop viewer. Windows releases are Authenticode code signed and timestamped through SSL.com, so the installer you download is verifiably the one we shipped. Support requests sent from inside the app are answered by the team that builds the product, with email replies within 24 hours.

Why it exists

Microscopy files arrive in vendor formats that each expect their own software: ZEN for CZI, NIS-Elements for ND2, ImageScope for SVS — several of them Windows-only or tied to acquisition licenses. Excellent open-source platforms such as QuPath, Fiji/ImageJ, and napari cover analysis, but day-to-day review of mixed formats still meant juggling tools. SlideScope exists to make the everyday part — open the file, look at it properly, measure, annotate, share — one consistent experience on both operating systems.

What it deliberately is not

SlideScope is not a PACS, a LIMS, an acquisition system, or a batch-analysis pipeline, and it is not positioned as a validated clinical diagnostic platform. Labs that need scripted quantification keep QuPath, CellProfiler, or Fiji alongside it — SlideScope exports measurements and regions as CSV and GeoJSON those tools read directly.
