-Slide barcodes and label images
+====== Slide barcodes and label images ======
+Many proprietary file formats used in digital pathology contain not one but two images:
+  * A high-resolution representation of the tissue on the slide
+  * A lower-resolution image of the label pasted on the slide. The label can contain a printed barcode for ease of slide identification.
+{{ :label.png?direct&400 |}}
+The label control can be collapsed and expanded, as needed. You can also rotate it and convert it to a separate browser tab, but using the buttons underneath
+Via Pathomation's [[tile_server|tile server]] you can check if there is a barcode present on the slide label, and attempt to decode it.
