I would like to know how openslide handle .scn extension WSI images.

Hi there,
I have downloaded some .scn images from here:
http://openslide.cs.cmu.edu/download/openslide-testdata/Leica/
When I load these image (for example Leica-2.scn) using Openslide-python
command, I can see that images has:
level_dimension: ((106259, 306939), (26565, 76735), (6642, 19184), (1661,
4796), (416, 1201), (104, 298))
Level-downsample: (1.0, 3.9999746623105956, 15.998891062171904,
63.98593267568448, 255.4999069285211, 1025.858899070728)

But when I load the same image with python-bioformats, It shows me that
there are 27 series in that image.
And series start from ((1616, 4668), .......(39168, 26048),
..........(39360, 23360),......(39360, 23360),.....(39168, 26048))
As I can see, the first three series are not important bcoz these are macro
and map, I have to work from 4th series which is (39168, 26048) and I can
also see that the same pyramid is repeated at last (39168, 26048) (I mean
to say there are two pyramids within the same image).
So my questions is, how does openslide handle .scn images and how does 27
series images are converted to 6 series images as shown in level_dimension
above.

Any suggestion.

Have a nice day!
