I read an articel in the c’t about how to display and browse towards high-resolution pictures or a huge amount of pictures. You will find the PDF under Material.
They present a tool called Deep Zoom Composer:
“The new Deep Zoom technology in Silverlight allows users to see images on the Web like they never have before. The smooth in-place zooming and panning that Deep Zoom allows is a true advancement and raises the bar on what image viewing should be. High resolution images need to be prepared for use with Deep Zoom and this tool allows the user to create Deep Zoom composition files that control the zooming experience and then export all the necessary files for deployment with Silverlight 2.”

An alternative besides this is Zoomorama – a flash application that shall work just as well.
