Image Viewer Features

Why is the image viewer empty?

Due to the large file sizes of our images, the image viewer often appears empty when you navigate to a page for the first time. Please try re-loading the browser to prompt our site to re-load the image viewer and the files.

How do I zoom in on images within the image viewer?

By hovering over the image viewer with your mouse and scrolling with your mouse’s scroll wheel, you can increase and decrease the magnification of the image. While zoomed in, the image can then be clicked and dragged to view different regions of the image. On a device with a touch screen (such as a mobile phone or tablet), you can use your fingers to pinch in or out to adjust the zoom level. Additionally, we have provided + and - buttons to increase and decrease the level of zoom. On a device with a touch screen (such as a mobile phone or tablet), you can also use your fingers to pinch in or out to adjust the zoom level.
