NYC friends! Come see syGlass (and me!) in action at NYU Langone. Open to anyone, I'll have the Spatial Reality Display and 6DOF stylus. Would love to meet people in person and check out your data! 🎤 Talk: 10 AM 🥽 Demos: 11 AM–4 PM 📍 Science Building 103, 435 E 30th St. #Bioimaging #Microscopy #VR

🦎 Our unofficial conference mascot for #3DThursday: the veiled chameleon embryo! We’ve brought this dataset to nearly every major conference this year, and it’s always a crowd favorite. biologists.bsky.social, @devbiol.bsky.social 🔬: SCANCO μCT 40, #microCT 🥼: Raul E. Diaz 🎬: #syGlass, v2.7.1

🕷️ A tick imaged with SEM-based #photogrammetry for #3DThursday! This type of #microscopy reveals the tiny structures researchers use to study tick ID, attachment, and feeding. 🔬: #SEM with a CSSG (compressed-sensing accessory) 🥼: Edward L. Principe 🏛️: PanoScientific 🎬: #syGlass, v2.7.1

🪰 History for #3DThursday! In 2012, SiMView made it possible to image an entire developing Drosophila embryo in 3D every ~30 sec for hours — a huge step for 4D developmental imaging. 🔬: SiMView, digital-embryo.janelia.org 🥼: Tomer, Khairy, Amat, Keller 🎬: #syGlass v2.7.1 #LSFM #Microscopy

🦋 #3DThursday: developing wing scales! In this clear region, scales form triangular and bristle shapes, like a tiny fluorescent sculpture garden. 🔬 @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social LSM 880 confocal 🥼 @aaronpomerantz.bsky.social, Cao Lu Yan & Nipam Patel 🏛️ @mblscience.bsky.social 🎬 #syGlass v2.7.1

🎉 New for #3DThursday: #syGlass Learn is here! We’re bringing interactive anatomy curriculum to standalone VR headsets, with expert-guided lessons, immersive assessments, and a much easier way to deploy VR learning. Try it on the Meta Quest Store: www.meta.com/experiences/... #Anatomy #EdTech #VR

The #syGlass summer release is here for #3DThursday! ☀️ This update adds new ways to landmark, interact with, track, and explore complex 3D/4D data. Full post: www.syglass.io/blog/syglass... Huge thanks to Michael Barresi for the data used in the new splash screen! #VirtualReality #SciComm

🔬 For #3DThursday: a whole cleared mouse embryo imaged with DALISPIM from @lifecanvastech.bsky.social A theme from #FOM2026 + #ELMI2026 was that light microscopy innovation can come from rethinking imaging geometries, in this case an open-top inverted #lightsheet. 🎬: #syGlass v2.6.0

#MicroCT of a soybean bud complex for #3DThursday! 🌱 pollen-filled anthers arranged around the ovary that contains the ovules. 🔬 @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Xradia 520 Versa 🥼 @cygnusplantxray.bsky.social Keith Duncan 🏛️ @danforthcenter.bsky.social 🎬 #syGlass v2.6.0 #PlantScience #3DImaging

Mouse spine data #3DThursday from our partners at 3i! 🎉 Specimen from Pantelis Tsoulfas, imaged at #LSFM26 on 3i’s AxL light sheet. Axial sweeping helps preserve whole-spine context while improving optical sectioning across a thick cleared specimen. #syGlass @the.3i.social @univmiami.bsky.social

For #3DThursday, this is a 99-million-year-old earwig preserved in Burmese amber from the Sims Collection! 🔬: Miltenyi Biotec Blaze 🥼: Samuel Harrison 🪲: Jim Sims from Hamamatsu 🎬: #syGlass, v2.6.0 🏛️: #LSFM26, MDI @mdibl.org @hamamatsucorp.bsky.social @miltenyibiotec.bsky.social #scicomm #LSFM

🌌 Live painted sea urchin data for #3DThursday, ahead of #LSFM26 at MDI! 🔬: Bruker TruLive3D, light sheet microscopy, imaged over 12 hours in 1% agarose 🥼: Amro Hamdoun, from Tzer Han Tan's group at UC San Diego, data from Dane Maxfield 🎬: #syGlass, v2.6.0 @lsfm-na.bsky.social @mdibl.org #scicomm

📚 Good imaging comes from people being generous with what they know. Course season! #AQLM at MBL last week, #QFM in Bar Harbor next week, and I’ll be at #LSFM with a paddleboard + Sony screen. Here’s a light sheet medley of favorite 3D/4D datasets from this year! #syGlass #3DThursday

🥹 Still feeling grateful after #HarvardXR 2026, where syGlass won Best Emerging XR Startup and Best Applied XR Product. 🏆🏆 Thank you to the organizers and judges for a thoughtful, energizing event! #syGlass #HXR2026 #XR #AppliedXR #ScienceViz #3D www.syglass.io/blog/syglass...

🧠 Microscopy data are getting huge and increasingly hard to work with (this ex vivo human brain MRI dataset was ~8 TB!). In #syGlass, we use out-of-core octree rendering to stream only what you see, keeping VR interactive even at this scale. 🔬 7T MRI | 🏛️ MGH | BL Edlow et al #Microscopy #3DThursday

Ray casting for #3DThursday! 🔦 🦎 Veiled chameleon embryo, microCT 🥼 Raul Diaz 🎬 #syGlass v2.6.0 Direct volume rendering works on voxel data directly—casting a ray per pixel and combining signal along its path. Different models (MIP, average, absorption) highlight different structures + depth.

We won! 🏆🥹 syGlass took Best Emerging XR Startup + Best Applied XR Product at #HarvardXR this weekend. Best part (besides surviving the pitch 💀) was live demos on the #Sony Spatial Reality Display, including this #microCT of a chameleon embryo from R Diaz More soon 👀 #XR #3DVisualization #syGlass

#UMAP in VR for #3DThursday! In this zebrafish embryogenesis dataset, RNA-seq + ATAC-seq across 94k+ cells reveal changing regulatory programs over time. 🥼 Yang-Joon Kim, Loic Royer @loicaroyer.bsky.social , Matthias Haury 📝 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🏛️ Biohub @biohub.org 🎬 #syGlass v2.6.0
