Translucence and Zeiss Team Up to Expand Possibilities for 3D Tissue Imaging

Translucence Biosystems hosted a “Lunch and Learn” in collaboration with the UCI Optical Biology Core Facility. This event provided an opportunity for researchers, students, and individuals interested in light sheet imaging and 3D histology to learn how these techniques can accelerate their research.

When Nathan Hyman joined Translucence Biosystems as an undergraduate intern at the University of Michigan, he had no prior laboratory experience. Yet within months, Hyman was generating publication-quality 3D anatomical data that would later be featured at the 2024 Society for Neuroscience meeting. The following article describes how Hyman leveraged iDISCO-based tissue clearing methods, light sheet imaging, and Al-powered whole-brain object segmentation, to generate regionalized data across hundreds of brain regions.

Translucence Biosystems participated in and sponsored the 18th Annual LFD Workshop in Advanced Fluorescence Imaging and Dynamics, organized by the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) at UC Irvine. This workshop brought together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and industry scientists interested in advancing fluorescence microscopy and imaging technologies.
