Each of the 4 views can be maximized to full screen by clicking the square button in the
top right corner of the window.
The circular arrow button in the bottom right is the view reset button, which will
reposition the specimen back to its original view.
There is a PLAY button displayed in each slice view. Pressing
the PLAY button automatically moves the scroll bar through
the slice. The scroll bar will always move to the right through
the end of the view frame, then start at the far left and
continue scrolling until the PLAY button is pressed again.
The colored lines in the other 2 views will move in unison to
display the corresponding slices in those views.
