Your pixels stay on your machine
Segmentation and measurement run locally. Only model weights are downloaded, and SlideScope verifies their SHA-256 digest before loading them. Nothing about the image is uploaded, which is the difference that matters for unpublished data, patient-derived material, and institutional review.
Two engines, both explicit
Run verified InstanSeg deep-learning weights for nuclei and cells, or an explicit classical threshold with Otsu auto-selection, polarity detection, smoothing, and area bounds. You always know which engine produced a number, and the methods summary records it.
Built to be reproducible
Every run is described by a saved recipe: object type, engine, channel, thresholds, area limits, marker channels. Reload the recipe, rerun the folder, and get the same analysis. The exported methods summary is written to be pasted into a manuscript.
