🔬 A #3DThursday fan favorite from #BINA2026! This is a tiny, lab-grown model of a lung, meant to mimic the structure and function of real tissues. I think we showed this #organoid to everyone who stopped by ...💜

A closer look at the complexity behind hearing. 🔬

This 3D cochlea view was captured with 3i’s AxL light-sheet microscopy system and our ORCA-Fusion BT camera, then visualized in syGlass.

Thanks to everyone who brought this view to life at BINA!

🔬 #3DThursday at #BINA2026! 3i shared a cochlea imaged on their AxL light-sheet microscope with a Hamamatsu camera. Downloading it apparently crashed the conference Wi-Fi ... sorry, guys, but I needed the data immediately! 😅

#3DThursday! Widefield live imaging from a Duchenne model. Not my usual #syGlass data type, but here it works surprisingly well. In this video, I'm following muscle stem cells moving along an mdx fiber over time.

Prior to the release of this features in syGlass v2.7.0, we worked closely with researchers facing exactly this problem to develop our VR solution.

Now this tool is the latest to be covered in our new series of syGlass tutorial videos:

A theme from #FOM2026 + #ELMI2026 was that light microscopy innovation can come from rethinking imaging geometries, in this case an open-top inverted #lightsheet.
