The idea of the VSI reader is to try and locate these relationships by using the least tampered-with files. Ideally I'd like to complete acquisition as it came out of the system. You can provide me with both if you'd like.

What size are the files?

Either option works for me.

Would it help if I first extracted the layer of interest and saved it as a separate .vsi file. That way there is no confusion between the 2x overview scan and 10x scan of interest? On another note, I was thinking about "cropping" the section of interest from the 10x scan and saving that as a separate file anyway.

Extracting and saving the isolated 10x scan should result in a corresponding subfolder, which may solve this problem (?)

The "yay" scan I'm referencing was for simplicity, as it's only a partial scan of a vessel. The real images I'll be working with should be much larger.

Let me know the easiest way for me to send you the file(s).
