I've uploaded a Deep Zoom of the primrose panorama
HERE
It requires Silverlight 2 to view it. If it isn't already installed, opening the link will direct you to the install point.
Primrose Deep Zoom

Very impressive; and absolutely amazing, it can fill my entire screen.
(Unfortunately at maximum zoom the image is mostly a black void and a few hairs; would be better if it zoomed into one of the flowers.)

No, never thought of that; I usually move the scrollbars on side and bottom.Have you tried dragging with the left mouse key depressed? (Arrow keys work as well for scrolling)
Thanks Elf, as you may guess I'm not computer savvy. Bugs I'm OK with, computers - plug 'em in and hope they work.

Elf, on googling Silverlight I gather it's something which has to be used in conjunction with Visual Studio - quite long winded.
Is that right, or is there a simpler way to use it in the way you did?
I think the dependency is on the .NET Framework, not Visual Studio. Here's the install point for Microsoft ICE, which will also install Silverlight 2: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/ ... s/ivm/ICE/
You can use ICE's GUI to create panoramas and/or Deep Zooms and HDViews. HDViews and Deep Zooms are essentially the same, but Deep Zoom files/folder sizes are smaller. There is also a command line interface that's buried in the application folder called HDMake.exe. On my computer it's located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Research\HD View Utilities\hdmake.exe.
The workflow for creating the pano and the Deep Zoom was to:
1. Shoot all of frames.
2. Run each frame though Zerene Stacker.
3. Take all of the frames output from ZS and run them through ICE and output as layered Photoshop.
4. Manually blend each seam (ICE does a good but not perfect job of blending the seams)
5. Do other post-processing like sharpening
6. Save finished image as TIFF
7. Make an extraordinarily small jpg for displaying here
8. Run the TIFF file through HDMake to generate the Deep Zoom
Note: It doesn't have to be a panorama to use Deep Zoom. I think any of the focus stacked images posted here would be fun to browse at 150%
p.s. Even the Microscopy ones...
