[Qgis-user] Re: Unusual application of QGIS

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

Thanks,
I will have a look at ImageJ. The problem is not just the stitching
together though.

The attractions of QGIS is the following:
* Ability to easily browse between content, I can thus have multiple
microscope layers. It thus becomes a tool for exploration and measuring.
* Existing ecosystem that can be easily extended and possible unintended
uses of existing plugins.

I need to point counting sometimes to get statistics on the number of
minerals in a slide. Doing this on a big screen rather than through a
microscope with a small field of view could be much better.

I have lots of ideas for this and think it can work really well. I will
keep the list informed when I start working on this in earnest.

Regards
