Systems and methods for creating and viewing three dimensional digital slides are provided. One or more microscope slides are positioned in an image acquisition device that scans the specimens on the slides and makes two dimensional images at a medium or high resolution. These two dimensional digital slide images are provided to an image viewing workstation where they are viewed by an operator who pans and zooms the two dimensional image and selects an area of interest for scanning at multiple depth levels (Z-planes). The image acquisition device receives a set of parameters for the multiple depth level scan, including a location and a depth. The image acquisition device then scans the specimen at the location in a series of Z-plane images, where each Z-plane image corresponds to a depth level portion of the specimen within the depth parameter.

1. A method for providing digital images, the method comprising using one or more hardware processors to: provide a base digital image;receive a selection of a first area of interest in the base digital image;acquire a first Z-stack of the first area of interest, wherein the first Z-stack comprises a first plurality of Z-planes, and wherein each of the first plurality of Z-planes comprises a digital image of the first area of interest at a different focus depth; andprovide the first area of interest at one or more focus depths using the first Z-stack. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the first area of interest at one or more focus depths comprises providing at least one of the first plurality of Z-planes. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the first area of interest at one or more focus depths comprises interpolating the first area of interest at one or more of the one or more focus depths based on one or more of the first plurality of Z-planes. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving one or more parameters, and wherein acquiring the first Z-stack of the first area of interest comprises acquiring the first Z-stack of the first area of interest according to the one or more parameters. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more parameters comprise an indication of the depth of the first Z-stack to be acquired. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more parameters comprise an indication of a spacing between Z-planes in the first Z-stack to be acquired. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: storing the base digital image;storing the first Z-stack in association with the base digital image;receiving a selection of a second area of interest in the base digital image;acquiring a second Z-stack of the second area of interest, wherein the second Z-stack comprises a second plurality of Z-planes, and wherein each of the second plurality of Z-planes comprises a digital image of the second area of interest at a different focus depth; andstoring the second Z-stack in association with the base digital image. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein each of the first plurality of Z-planes in the first Z-stack and the second plurality of Z-planes in the second Z-stack comprise a Z-plane at a same focus depth as the base digital image. 9. The method of claim 7, further comprising displaying the digital image with one or more visual cues that indicate the availability of the first Z-stack and the second Z-stack. 10. A system for providing digital images, the system comprising: one or more hardware processors; andone or more executable modules configured to, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, provide a base digital image,receive a selection of a first area of interest in the base digital image,acquire a first Z-stack of the first area of interest, wherein the first Z-stack comprises a first plurality of Z-planes, and wherein each of the first plurality of Z-planes comprises a digital image of the first area of interest at a different focus depth, andprovide the first area of interest at one or more focus depths using the first Z-stack. 11.

The system of claim 10, wherein the one or more executable modules are further configured to receive one or more parameters, and wherein acquiring the first Z-stack of the first area of interest comprises acquiring the first Z-stack of the first area of interest according to the one or more parameters. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more parameters comprise an indication of the depth of the first Z-stack to be acquired. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more parameters comprise an indication of a spacing between Z-planes in the first Z-stack to be acquired. 16. The system of claim 10, wherein the one or more executable modules are further configured to: store the first Z-stack in association with the base digital image;receive a selection of a second area of interest in the base digital image;acquire a second Z-stack of the second area of interest, wherein the second Z-stack comprises a second plurality of Z-planes, and wherein each of the second plurality of Z-planes comprises a digital image of the second area of interest at a different focus depth; andstore the second Z-stack in association with the base digital image. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein each of the first plurality of Z-planes in the first Z-stack and the second plurality of Z-planes in the second Z-stack comprise a Z-plane at a same focus depth as the base digital image. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein the one or more executable modules are further configured to display the digital image with one or more visual cues that indicate the availability of the first Z-stack and the second Z-stack. 19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors: provide a base digital image;receive a selection of a first area of interest in the base digital image;acquire a first Z-stack of the first area of interest, wherein the first Z-stack comprises a first plurality of Z-planes, and wherein each of the first plurality of Z-planes comprises a digital image of the first area of interest at a different focus depth; andprovide the first area of interest at one or more focus depths using the first Z-stack. 20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein the instructions further: store the first Z-stack in association with the base digital image;receive a selection of a second area of interest in the base digital image;acquire a second Z-stack of the second area of interest, wherein the second Z-stack comprises a second plurality of Z-planes, and wherein each of the second plurality of Z-planes comprises a digital image of the second area of interest at a different focus depth; andstore the second Z-stack in association with the base digital image;wherein each of the first plurality of Z-planes in the first Z-stack and the second plurality of Z-planes in the second Z-stack comprise a Z-plane at a same focus depth as the base digital image.
