Aperio, a company has made a breakthrough on medical imaging criteria
The picture you’ll see below is actually a tissue of a breast cancer. The image can now be seen this clear, which is made possible by using a high-power oil immersion ScanScope slide-scanning system made by Aperio, their scanners can create very-high quality images in minutes which has broken into the record of the terrapixel barrier with a resolution of 1,095,630 x 939,495 with a file size of 143 GB (that’s more than my 2 HDD’s space combined ^_^’) .

With an image this big, the company decided to create a new format for the TIFF(Tagged Image File Format) image format exceeding the size limit of 4,000 MB, the new format will be called BigTIFF and is now offered to the public domain.

As a graphic designer, you really have to find some photos for your designs, but what if you’re low on budget and really needs those high-resolution but can’t afford to buy them, that’s not a problem you can always try these sites.
Be careful whether those photos have licenses in them. before you go copying and pasting them to your designs you must first check whether they are royalty free and if you’re going to use them commercially. what will photographers do for a living if you’ll just take their picture and put them to your designs without their permissions, so I’ve made a list of “free stock photos” and also “royalty free” be sure to check the permissions before downloading them:
1. Stock Exchange – the leading stock photography site
2. A Digital Dreamer – Free Royalty Free Stock Photography: Unlike other sites with free images, these are also royalty free.
3. Image*After – is a large online free photo collection. You can download and use any image or texture from our site and use it in your own work, either personal or commercial.
4.Photo Gen – Still paying for your photos and images? Forget royalty-free – try totally-FREE. Photogen stock photos are FREE for commercial and personal use.
5.Free Range – Offers stock photos that can be used for commercially. the images are very high-res that are at least 2400 * 1600.
I know there are a few more, If you’d like me to include a site that you know of, just send me a message and I’ll include them for you but I’ll be strict and check them myself first. they must be “free to download” and “royalty free.”
