The ImageScope software not only allows to view multiple slides simultaneously and to correct color settings, but also performs much quicker and is more responsive than an embedded viewer (since it utilizes better prefetching and caching).

The official website of ImageScope: (click)

To view slides in ImageScope a .svs file of the following structure is required:

<SIS version="1.0">
	<Image>
		<URL>//histo.anat.ubc.ca/PATHOLOGY/Anatomical Pathology/DermPath/Case 018.svs</URL>
	</Image>
</SIS>

(usually you can download the respective SVS file from the website of a given Virtual Slidebox)

When opening a file in ImageScope, choose ScaneScope Image Set (.sis) from the file type drop-down list.

To save a slide region on your hard drive, choose the “Extract Region” tool from the toolbar. Then, click and drag on the slide preview to select the region. By default the scale of the saved image is set to 100%, which means the slide will be saved in the original resolution (typically the image taken under x40 magnification). After you finished the setup, click the “Extract” button.

ImageScope will not save the scale bar, so it is important to somehow add the information about the actual magnification of the saved slide (eg. in the “Description” field).
