Try the demo¶
The quickest way to see DSA is the public demo instance hosted by Kitware:
https://demo.kitware.com/histomicstk/
The link above opens a sample collection. From there you can:
- Browse the collection and folder tree.
- Open a slide in HistomicsUI.
- Pan, zoom, and rotate the image.
- Open the analysis panel to see the tasks that are available.
- Try the annotation tools, if your account has permission to edit the demo data.
The demo is a shared public instance
Do not upload private, regulated, or otherwise sensitive data to the demo. Other users can see what is stored there, and the instance may be reset.
What you are looking at¶
The demo runs the same components as a local installation: Girder serves the API and the data, HistomicsUI provides the viewer and annotation tools, and Slicer CLI Web exposes analysis tasks. It is a full DSA instance, not a static screenshot.
