-++++ Snapshots| +Checkpointing is taking snapshots of the state of an application during its execution. In computer science, this is used as a **fault tolerance** mechanism by using these snapshots to restart the application in case of failure.

-But it is also a useful tool for modeling. It allows you to use the result of one simulation as the initial condition for the other. Ad therefore enables the construction of complex initial conditions.  +You can specify the interval between snapshots in ''Time / SaveInterval''. Simulation states are saved as a regular XML model description file, but compressed: **[model].xml.gz**. The current state of all cells is in ''CellPopulations / Population''. You can copy this element to act as an initial population for another model.

 +Often, realistic tissue geometries are an important factor in the study of tissue formation. To configure models with realistic tissue geometries, Morpheus allows you to import (segmented) microscopy data in the form of **multipage TIFF images**. 
  
 +TIFF images can be 8, 16 or 32 bit. Multipage images are interpreted as 3D images (XYZ). All pixels/voxels with identical values are interpreted as beloning to the same cell.
