One file to get started

Open the original acquisition file from your computer or an accessible drive.

Channels, regions and available optical images are read directly from the file. No TIFF conversion or extra setup is needed.

New here? The synthetic demonstration lets you try the viewer before opening your own data.

Your files stay local. Reading, image processing and exports happen on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, and your original MCD is never changed.
