Happy User
"I regularly work with Leica SCN files in my pathology lab, and reaConverter has been a lifesaver when I need to convert them to TIFF or JPEG for collaboration. The batch processing feature saves me so much time, and the output quality remains excellent, no loss of detail even at high magnifications. The software is intuitive, and I appreciate that it preserves metadata during conversion. Highly recommended for digital pathology workflows!"

SCN images: Frequently Asked Questions

What are SCN files?

The Leica SCN file format is used primarily in digital pathology and microscopy, particularly by Leica Biosystems' imaging software.
