FocalPoint ========== `FocalPoint `_ is an image browser, similar to `Windows Explorer `_ or other `file manager `_ application, specifically designed to work with more complex image types. FocalPoint uses Bio-Formats to generate thumbnails for some formats. Installation ------------ FocalPoint is bundled with Bio-Formats, so no further installation is necessary. Upgrading --------- It should be possible to use a `newer version of Bio-Formats `_ by overwriting the old **loci\_tools.jar** within the FocalPoint distribution. For Mac OS X, you will have to control click the FocalPoint program icon, choose "Show Package Contents" and navigate into Contents/Resources/Java to find the **loci\_tools.jar** file.
