Ready to get the whole picture?
Make the most of your IPIX™ image viewing experience by familiarizing yourself with this brief key.
 
  hand icon The first thing you'll notice when you're inside an IPIX™ image is that your cursor becomes a hand icon. To move inside the IPIX™ image, HOLD DOWN your left mouse button and point the hand icon in the direction you wish to move.

Hint: The hand icon drives the IPIX™ image slowly if held near the center of the image. The closer the hand gets to the edge of the image, the faster the IPIX™ image moves.
 
  zoom in icon The magnifying glass with the plus symbol appears when the cursor is slightly above the center of the IPIX™ image. When you see this icon, HOLD DOWN your mouse button to zoom closer into the IPIX™ image.
 
  zoom out icon The magnifying glass with the minus symbol appears when the cursor is slightly below the center of the IPIX™ image. When you see this icon, HOLD DOWN your mouse button to zoom further out of the IPIX™ image.
