- Free preview: open, measure and annotate up to 5 of your own local images. No account or card needed. Eligible accounts can start a free 3-day trial with every feature unlocked after approving a PayPal or card subscription. Nothing is charged today. For the individual monthly plan, billing starts at 25.00 USD per month when the trial ends unless you cancel beforehand. Cancel anytime from your account. Use one subscription on up to 2 desktop devices—Windows, macOS, or one of each—at no extra cost. Cloud-powered AI Analysis, shared views, and account-linked slide notes are included too. An individual annual option costs $249.99 USD per year, about two months free, and shared lab plans start at $79 USD per month for up to 5 contributor seats, with tiers up to 30 seats. Every plan also comes as SlideScope Plus, from $50 USD per month: up to 4 devices, 50 images in SlideScope Cloud, and unlimited notes and annotations.
- It is built for research labs, microscopy core facilities, educators, students, and pathology review teams that need practical file review, annotations, measurements, metadata, and export.
- Evaluate SlideScope when you need one desktop app that opens mixed microscopy files and quantifies standard objects on your own machine. Keep the original tool when you need microscope control, programmable image processing, scripted analysis pipelines, or institutional image management.
- Builds for Windows 10 and 11, and for macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel.
