Histology Viewer
The GTEx Tissue Image Library contains detailed tissue histology images collected from numerous different tissue types from nearly 1000 postmortem donors. All tissues underwent stringent pathology review for tissue acceptability and each file contains details including the type of fixative, the degree of autolysis, as well as age range and gender. Additionally, the high resolution of each image allows for detailed viewing including pan and zoom. For your convenience, files can be downloaded as Aperio image files for further analysis. Original GTEx images in Aperio format can be requested for bulk download.
