Description

## Use Case

The viewer currently is programmed to convert zarr data to 8-bit intensity when it is fetched. This 8-bit format is used throughout the viewer for performance reasons.

## Solution

Not sure how easy or hard this is yet:
Let slices stay in their native data type. Load into textures and let the shader do the necessary LUTs and only go to 8-bit when drawing final pixels in fragment shader...
