- Worth noticing
- The site describes a 2.0 GB, 512-layer MRC volume and says nearby layers are prepared in the background as users navigate.
Field notes
The page describes memory-mapped, parallel decoding for large volumes, prioritizing nearby layers so navigation can keep up with dragging. Measurements can use nm or µm, and exported PNGs retain the scale bar; annotations are recorded by Z layer. The download section gives platform-specific setup notes, including Windows file association and Linux AppImage instructions.
