2025 took us around the world 🌍 From Zurich to Beijing, London, Paris, Montreal, all over the Americas, we explored scientific datasets in VR with the researchers who created them -- and pushed #syGlass to new limits for 3D analysis. On to 2026. 🔬✨ #3DThursday #Microscopy #ScientificImaging

Nice feature from NVIDIA on #syGlass at the MBL! Exciting to see AI, RTX GPUs, and VR coming together to explore massive 3D brain datasets, with high school students contributing to ongoing, cutting-edge neuroscience research. @mblscience.bsky.social blogs.nvidia.com/blog/mbl-hum...

#syGlass v2.5.0 is out! 🎉 New depth-aware colormaps, expanded file formats (NRRD/MRC/TCF/OME-Zarr v3), better #VR segmentation tools, and upgraded narration workflows — all focused on making #3Ddata easier to explore and share. Blog: www.syglass.io/blog/syglass... #Microscopy #Imaging #3DThursday

Guest lectured at UNH–Manchester’s Techniques in Microscopy this week, and the students are already thinking like researchers. Early exposure to real #Microscopy and #ImageAnalysis tools makes all the difference. 🔬: Zeiss LSM 510 🥼: Students + Prof Mark Scimone 🎬: syGlass.io #3DThursday #syGlass

One year of #3DThursday! Revisiting our first specimen, a Pekin duck: thanks to this community we learned she was Beaker, a rescued duck from Utah who later contributed to science. 🔬: #CTScan, Scarlet Imaging's BriteVu 🥼: Scott Echols 🎬: syGlass.io 🦆📸: credit TIFOtter #Anatomy #syGlass #SciComm

Stoked to be back in San Diego for #sfn25 with syGlass and the rest of the team. This week, we're showing off our new AI based axon tracer and the new Sony Spatial Display. Come visit us at booth 813!

Exciting News! 😎 syGlass is proud to announce our new collaboration with Sony, featuring their revolutionary glasses-free 3D Spatial Reality Display. Experience the future of visualization at the 2025 Society for Neuroscience conference. Stop by our booth #813 to see it in action! #sfn25 #sfn2025

For #3DThursday we’re introducing Dynamic Depth color mapping! It encodes distance with smooth depth-aware gradients so layered structures pop without losing context. 🔬 #MicroCT of a P1 mouse 🥼 Hsu Lab, Baylor, @cwloganhsu.bsky.social 🎬 syGlass.io #Microscopy #SciComm #3DVisualization #syGlass

Expansion with Magnify for #3DThursday this week! This mouse brain tissue was imaged using Magnify Biosciences, Inc. expansion microscopy — a simple, low-cost way to achieve nanoscale resolution with a standard confocal.

it was great to present syGlass, Inc at CACIE, part of the largest international educational conference in China, with Kenan Sener, Ed.D. Very grateful for CAEIE for hosting me for this week in Beijing. ❤️ lnkd.in/g8KQMa8x

Taking over #3DThursday while Brandy Freitas @brandy-syglass.bsky.social is out of office for some adventures! 🦇: Rousettus aegyptiacus stained in 10% Lugol’s iodine for 3 months 🔬: PerkinElmer Quantum GX microCT 🥼: @acsharp.bsky.social 🏛️: University of Liverpool’s Centre for Preclinical Imaging

Absolutely amazing to hike the Great Wall of China. Truly an engineering marvel and an amazing historic achievement.

It's great to visit my good friend Alain Chédotal for an extra special lecture of tissue clearing and light sheet microscopy -- at Faculté de Médecine Lyon Est, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 + Hospices Civils de Lyon - HCL @hospicescivilslyon.bsky.social

The #mesoSPIM symposium really opened my eyes to the power of open source hardware. I've highlighted some of the surprising outcomes in a new blog post: How Open Source Microscopy is Solving the Funding Crisis: Insights from the mesoSPIM 10-Year Symposium www.syglass.io/blog/how-ope...

I have really neglected Bluesky. I'm going to try to add my backlog of adventures here now. To start, #mesoSPIM symposium in Zurich! Amazing conference, amazing people, amazing talks!

One of my favorite #syGlass keyframes yet!

If you're attending 🎉 Microscopy & Microanalysis 2025! 🎉 definitely say hello at booth 1228 and try out the latest workflows in syGlass

A #microscopy mystery for #3DThursday!🌾 What is this? 🔍 Things that I know: it is a #plant, it was imaged on a Lumafield #microCT, and the color is a LUT (look up table) that I applied in #syGlass and has nothing to do with the organism (microCT comes in as grayscale). Help! #SciComm

The Confetti Cannon was the work of one of our UC Berkeley @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social summer interns!

Happy 4th for #3DThursday! 🎉 Do I occasionally forget and then remember ecstatically that we have a confetti cannon in the syGlass room? Yes, yes, I do ... #syGlass #VRScience #Microscopy #SciComm
