Skeleton Tracing

Light-sheet
Trace and proofread neurons in the browser with your whole team, one task per neuron, and review each one in the same view. In production with design partners today.

Collaborative Annotation

All modalities
Annotate together on one shared layer, with values from your own lists or published ontologies, and find any annotation by its values, without code. In production with design partners.
Cell bodies in a fly brain electron-microscopy volume, each labelled with its cell type from the Cell Ontology, above the annotation table.

AI Segmentation

Fluorescence · Light-sheet (LSFM) · Electron microscopy
Kick off automated, multi-channel segmentation over a region of interest, then review, correct and approve the results in-platform. A real pilot in progress with our design partners — not yet generally available.

High-Content Screening

High-content screening · 2D assays · organoids
Review hits at plate scale. Overlay tables and masks on wells, standardize views, flag artifacts, and capture decisions as reproducible Glances. We provide the review layer on your screen, developed with design partners.

EM Reconstruction

Electron microscopy · Tomography
Build and proofread ground-truth reconstructions of electron-microscopy and tomogram volumes, with task assignment and review. In active development with our design partners.
