"GerBI ist open, creative, inspiring, playful, yet always professional" - Bettina Weigelin at the #GerBIMeeting2026, highlighting a great GerBI community feeling.

#GerBIMeeting2026 kicking off day 2 in Fulda with inspirations from collaborating scientific communities, represented by Claudia Giesecke-Thiel (DGfZ), Johannes Jägers (Young Physiologists), and Yara Reis (GBI). Chaired by Hella Hartmann (GerBI). Next Up: Industry Spotlight

Hello, world! We are starting a worker cooperative to build, maintain, teach, and support open source scientific imaging software. image.coop/blog/posts/2...

I'm a simple man. I see lazy streaming of chunked bio-image data from a remote @openmicroscopy.org #ome-zarr image to a virtual reality #VR framework, I repost. Seriously, this is *so* cool! 🤯

Streaming OME-Zarr data directly into syGlass for #3DThursday🌍🔬 With #syGlass v2.6.0, datasets can stream from disk, S3, or HTTPS with no massive downloads required. Huge thanks to the community building open imaging standards: @openmicroscopy.org #OMEZarr #Microscopy #OpenScience #Bioimaging

Yep, it lags a little. But still quite impressive considering that each "pixel" is a 150 MPixel multires image. Overall the total number of 'adressable' pixels in this 2D image are 225x225x150 Mpix = 7.6 Tera pixels. #ImageJ #Fiji #BigDataViewer

Rewrote my Python bioformats wrapper (from aicsimageio/bioio) as a standalone package: - fully bootstrapped Java setup (just pip install) - lazy, repeatably-indexable Array object - fully spec-compliant OME-Zarr group obj. - xarray/dask exports github.com/imaging-form... v0.0.rc1 on PyPI

I'll never get tired of lazily browsing elastix-coregistered #WSI data in @napari.org using the upcoming @openmicroscopy.org ome-zarr @zarr.dev format version that allows to specify and read transformations directly from the image data itself. Data source: rodare.hzdr.de/record/3131

Great news for German #BioImaging! 🤝 #GerBI & #de.NBI just signed an MoU to launch a GerBI #OMERO platform. de.NBI brings the cloud, GerBI handles ops, support & community. 🧩 A testbed + training hub for everyone. Stronger data, stronger science. More soon!

Kind of flew under the radar, BUT we released napari-omero 0.6 recently 🥳 @openmicroscopy.org You can now down-/upload ROIs from and to OMERO inside @napari.org 🤩Bringing the power of napari for annotation to the management of OMERO :) Thanks @psobolewskiphd.bsky.social and other maintainers!

Ha! Just noticed that my terminal now (has it always?) shows a small loading bar 🚧 when @pytest.org tests are running! Cool :)

Do you love quantifying animal behavior as much as we do? We have just the tool for you! Presenting #OCTRON - a pipeline that helps you create rich annotation data and enables training of custom segmentation models. Have a look, particularly if you work with non-model / invertebrate organisms!

Can we please discuss accessibility at conferences? When organizers and schedules assume that everyone can walk fast and climb stairs, people with mobility issues (visible or invisible) might feel excluded. /

We had an amazing OME-NGFF hackathon last week, Wednesday to Friday, following the inspiring OME-NGFF symposium. What a fantastic week! It’s hard to describe how motivating it is to be surrounded by so many talented, curious & friendly people who care deeply about open, FAIR bioimaging data. 1/14 🧵
