  OpenSlide is a C library that provides a simple interface to read whole-slide
  images also known as virtual slides.
  .
+ Whole-slide images, also known as virtual slides, are large, high resolution
+ images used in digital pathology. Reading these images using standard image
+ tools or libraries is a challenge because these tools are typically designed
+ for images that can comfortably be uncompressed into RAM or a swap file.
+ Whole-slide images routinely exceed RAM sizes, often occupying tens of
+ gigabytes when uncompressed. Additionally, whole-slide images are typically
+ multi-resolution, and only a small amount of image data might be needed at a
+ particular resolution.
+ .
+ This library currently supports:
+ -Trestle (.tif)
+ -Hamamatsu (.vms, .vmu)
+ -Aperio (.svs, .tif)
+ -MIRAX (.mrxs)
+ -Generic tiled TIFF (.tif)
+ .
  This package contains the libraries needed to run OpenSlide applications.
