Nice DeepZoom image samples via ClipFlair Studio’s Image component
Here are some DeepZoom image samples to enjoy via ClipFlair‘s Image component, in our ClipFlair Studio app (Silverlight-based):

Another impressive one is this Mandelbrot fractal, a dynamically generated DeepZoom image from Google AppEngine SDK demos:

You can point the mouse and scroll the mouse wheel or double click to zoom in where you want.
One can make DeepZoom tiled images and DeepZoom image collections (can read more at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645050%28VS.95%29.aspx) with various authoring tools, including DeepZoom Composer (can read more about that tool at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd409068%28loband%29.aspx)
However, the easiest way is to use ZoomIt service (http://zoom.it/pages/create/) to make a DeepZoom image wrapper (hosted at that site) for any big image on the web (giving it the original image URL). e.g. http://zoom.it/wR4i is a ClipFlair Poster (the respective DZI image is at http://cache.zoom.it/content/wR4i.dzi – internally ClipFlair’s image component converts zoom.it URLs to get the real .DZI image and show it)
