WIth SlidableWorm, users can access transverse cross-sections of the nematode C. elegans throughout the length of the animal. By moving the cursor along the length of the illustration of the worm, one can select which slice to visualize. There are four different ways to view the electron micrograph sections. They can be viewed with no annotation, with labels and with tissue highlighting displayed as either a transparent or an opaque overlay (see Color Code for details). The images are presented using Zoomify and controls below the image allow the user to move the image around and to change the magnification. Currently only a subset of the slices are available and these are indicated by the green bars below the longitudinal illustration of the worm. New images are being added as they become available. |
