The major advantage to pyramidal images is that they enable working with images that are many times larger than what your computer can hold in memory. For example, if you open a very large image in FIJI to view it, it can be prohibitively slow. Why use pyramidal images? Normally when you load an image into a program, the whole image is loaded into your computer’s memory which can slow or freeze your application. These images have two dimensions, so halving the resolution along both dimensions produces images with a quarter of the original area.
Here is a schematic representation of a pyramidal image, which stores image data at multiple scales to enable quick loading of very large images. This type of image format, where information is represented at different levels with different resolutions, is often called a pyramidal image or hierarchical image (see below).

You need all the files to have full access to the data. mrxs file contains metadata and information about how the different. dat files contain the image information in different pieces at different resolutions. This might be slightly different for you depending on your specific experimental details, but generally MIRAX format images like these have one. Images should be in a folder structure something like this: Organize your imagesįirst, get all your images in one location. Images of tissue sections in this blogpost are generously provided by the Barczak Lab, MGH. Older versions of QuPath will likely have different behavior when it comes to exporting annotated regions and may use the annotation bounding box, sometimes producing more tiles than desired. Please note that we will be using QuPath version 0.3.2. For this post, we’ll be focusing on the MIRAX format, but the general steps can be generalized to other image formats openable in QuPath. These tiles can be useful for training machine learning classifiers or in general for working with your images in other programs that are not well suited for whole slide image formats.

Here we’ll show you step-by-step how to use QuPath annotations and scripting to export smaller, full-resolution tiles of large whole slide histology images. vms) are often massive when uncompressed (>40 GB) and are commonly used when imaging tissue sections for histology. With slide scanners and other automated, high-throughput microscopes becoming more and more common, it’s important to understand how to work with the large image files they produce.
