 +Gross processing or "grossing" is the process by which pathology specimens undergo examination with the bare eye to obtain diagnostic information, as well as cutting and tissue sampling in order to prepare material for subsequent microscopic examination. ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_processing|Wikipedia]]) 
 + 
 +In order to provide a reference and link between macroscopic and microscopic samples, a //regular// photograph is often taken from a specimen before it is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histology#Sample_preparation|further processed]]. 
 + 
 +PMA.core supports [[https://www.pathomation.com/formats|common file formats like JPG, JPEG, JP2, TIFF, TIF, PNG, and others]] to support this kind of observations and incorporate them seamlessly in digital pathology applications and workflows.

 Of course PMA.core isn't the only tool in the world that can do this. We acknowledge that by providing various options to integrate external meta-data into PMA.core as well.
