- To navigate the image:
    - zoom in/out: rolling mouse wheel.
    - pans: holding down right mouse button and dragging.

- Note: One workspace can only import one single 2D image. After importing, the import function will be locked. New workspaces are needed if more 2D images are to be processed.
