Description: # OpenSlide Python
        
        OpenSlide Python is a Python interface to the OpenSlide library.
        
        [OpenSlide] is a C library that provides a simple interface for reading
        whole-slide images, also known as virtual slides, which are high-resolution
        images used in digital pathology.  These images can occupy tens of gigabytes
        when uncompressed, and so cannot be easily read using standard tools or
        libraries, which are designed for images that can be comfortably
        uncompressed into RAM.  Whole-slide images are typically multi-resolution;
        OpenSlide allows reading a small amount of image data at the resolution
        closest to a desired zoom level.
        
        OpenSlide can read virtual slides in several formats:
        
        * [Aperio][] (`.svs`, `.tif`)
        * [DICOM][] (`.dcm`)
        * [Hamamatsu][] (`.ndpi`, `.vms`, `.vmu`)
        * [Leica][] (`.scn`)
        * [MIRAX][] (`.mrxs`)
        * [Philips][] (`.tiff`)
        * [Sakura][] (`.svslide`)
        * [Trestle][] (`.tif`)
        * [Ventana][] (`.bif`, `.tif`)
        * [Generic tiled TIFF][] (`.tif`)

        ## Requirements
        
        * Python &ge; 3.8
        * OpenSlide &ge; 3.4.0
        * Pillow
        
        
        ## Installation
        
        OpenSlide Python requires [OpenSlide].  For instructions on installing both
        components so OpenSlide Python can find OpenSlide, see the package
        [documentation][installing].
