LINKING OF IMAGES TO ENABLE SIMULTANEOUS VIEWING OF MULTIPLE OBJECTS

Computerized techniques are provided for linking digitized images of serial sections of a biological tissue sample. Linked, digitized images of the serial section are displayed on a display and manipulation of one digitized image causes other digitized images to be similarly manipulated. To link digitized images, a copy of a digitized image of one serial section is positioned over a digitized image of another serial section. The digitized image of the other serial section is visible through the copy. The transparency of the copy is changed to effect change of the visualization of the digitized image of the other serial section. The copy is registered to the digitized image of the other serial section.
