OpenSlide currently supports Hamamatsu VMS and VMU but not NDPI.

Whenever an NDPI slide has more than 65535 pixels on a side, the slide 
file contains JPEG images with invalid headers.  Unsurprisingly, JPEG 
decoding libraries will not open such an image without some additional 
preprocessing.  This is what causes the Bio-Formats reader to fail:
