bioView is an open source and cross-platform application intended for biologists to visualize mosaicked EM, Confocal, etc. imagery. It runs on Windows, MacOS X and Linux.

Allows on-the-fly automatic and manual enhancements (levels, brightness, equalization) for large images, dynamic enhancement of visible areas, smooth zoom. All the enhancements are performed with original image data which is converted to display dynamic range on the fly.
