Developing hardware + software tools for large-scale imaging @AllenInstitute for Neural Dynamics.
How do you image the large and the small at the same time? We developed new 🔬 technology to image centimeter-scale specimens - including whole mouse brains 🧠 - with diffraction-limited resolution and without sectioning. #mesoscale #imaging biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 (1/n)
Very exciting updates from @Andrew_C_Payne and @E11BIO. Excited to see future developments and progress and how imaging/microscopy advances can help push this to the exascale!
E11 Bio is excited to share a major step towards brain mapping at 100x lower cost, making whole-brain connectomics at human & mouse scale feasible (🧠→🔬→💻). Critical for curing brain disorders, building human-like AI systems, and even simulating human brains. 1/N 🧵
First 3200 MP images from the LSST at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory! nature.com/articles/d4158…
The MOSAIC reconfigurable microscope by @Eric_Betzig et al is finally out! MOSAIC integrates multiple advanced imaging techniques including light-sheet, label-free, super-resolution, and multi-photon, all equipped with adaptive optics: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are excited to share our development of a new 10X lens with NA=0.50 over a 7.2 mm FOV and a 35 mm working distance (water), fully corrected from 400-850 nm. This lens will power our upcoming ExA-SPIM "2" and is available for dissemination - please get in touch if interested!
To look into: a Python alternative to ZEMAX... github.com/HarrisonKramer…
New review out on imaging 3D cell cultures. Congratulations to Huai-Ching and @jonliu123 on leading this excellent new review! nature.com/articles/s4159…

I’m catching up on good news. THE LIBERATORS is a 2025 Pacific Northwest Book Award Finalist for Fiction. Thanks to @pacificnwbooks1 and congrats to @BillyRayB, Anne de Marcken, Tara Karr Roberts & the other winners!
Sound-sheet microscopy - in this study, we introduce nonlinear sound-sheet microscopy (NSSM), a method to image targeted biological functions across cubic centimeters of opaque living tissue. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Software folks. What web based multi scale image viewers exist? Aware of neuroglancer, viv, openseadragon, zoomify, are there others?
Okay, here is the belated Xmas present for OPM and SCAPE drivers. Deliberate aliasing and recovery to speed up 3D acquisition. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
First imaging experiment with our new ExA-SPIM software… fingers crossed for no dropped frames or crashes! 😅
Christmas came early. Thank you to @ximeagmbh for sending this prototype camera with the upcoming 246 MP Sony IMX811 sensor! Excited to start testing.
