Silverlight Deep Zoom provides the ability to view high resolution images rapidly without affecting the performance of your applications.

According to Silverlight documentation

Deep Zoom provides the ability to zoom almost arbitrarily large images in Silverlight in a performant manner. Images can be displayed at very small and very large scale without affecting performance of the application displaying the image. The only property affecting performance is the number of pixels to be displayed on screen.

This page from silverlight.net has some quick start tutorials for Silverlight Deep Zoom.

http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/ has the best example for Silverlight Deep Zoom implementation.

Above page has hundreds of high resolution images of Rock Bands. Below are screenshots of Silverlight Deep Zoom in action.
