Previews and 3D Viewer

MorphoSource media have interactive previews viewable over the web. For 3D media, you can explore the content, take length and angular measurements, and view and save annotations for greater understanding and more engaging interaction.

We use Universal Viewer to help display our content. 3D models are displayed using the open-source viewer Aleph-R3F. All of our viewers use the IIIF data standard to display previews, making MorphoSource preview content compatible with content from libraries and museums around the world.

In this section, you’ll find guides and documentation for our previews and our viewers, including instructions for media contributors about creating and saving annotations and configuring the initial display of a media's preview.
