NeuroGlass: The collaborative platform for volumetric imaging datasets

Working with terabyte-scale 3D microscopy datasets shouldn't mean re-finding the same view twice, losing track of which figure came from which dataset, or emailing long links to keep a collaborator in the loop.

NeuroGlass is a cloud platform that makes volumetric imaging work reproducible and shared by default. Join the MetaCell team for a 30-minute live walkthrough on Friday, May 8.

‍

Overview

NeuroGlass extends Neuroglancer with structured Studies and Data Collections that link imaging data, metadata, figures, and findings in one place. Teams at the Allen Institute, Johns Hopkins, and Calico Labs use it daily to move through complex datasets faster and keep analysis reproducible across projects.

It supports a wide range of imaging modalities – connectomics, cryo-EM/ET, expansion microscopy, high-resolution cellular imaging, spatial transcriptomics, and electron and fluorescence microscopy.

Whether you're new to NeuroGlass or already using it and want to go deeper, this session gives you a practical look at how it fits into real research workflows.

Speakers

• Matteo Cantarelli, CTO and Co-founder
• Paolo Bazzigaluppi, Director of R&D
• Sya Mace, Senior Product Designer

‍

What you'll see

• Pull datasets straight from your private S3 or Google buckets – no downloads, no local copies
• Organize studies and build advanced 3D visualizations, including volume rendering
• Use Data Collections to compare datasets side-by-side without switching context
• Capture sharable views with Glances
• Jump back to any prior state with full history, so your work stays reproducible
• Produce publication- and presentation-ready Figures from the same environment
• Move faster with AI-assisted visualization changes
• Share live views with teammates across labs and institutions

‍

Who should attend

Researchers, imaging core staff, software engineers, and data scientists working with large 3D microscopy datasets. If you're already using Neuroglancer or evaluating other tools, you'll see how NeuroGlass supports both individual researchers and institution-wide teams that need more organized, reproducible, and shared microscopy workflows.

‍

First look – live only

Attendees get the first public preview of the upcoming collaborative Comments feature, which brings threaded discussion directly to exact dataset views.
