I agree, is there a way to drop the name from the image mark (or maybe make multiple, one with the name big to the right of the logo?)

Are you rendering all points as emitters? Or do they have some form of occlusion/absorption/scattering?

Ah right, I have also seen some of the napari solution! I think this in general makes a lot of sense, and I'm still looking into how to make these kinds of volume interactions as easy in Blender as they are in the more scientific software, such as BigTrace and Napari 😅😋

This is separate from Blender, built on imglib2 in java (same framework as bigDataViewer, so also related to bigWarp), and for bigtrace all implemented by @ekatrukha.bsky.social

I think the smart thing it does for annotation is to extract the brightest point under the mouse as targeted point

This is the cool part of BigTrace, where this also has extensive semimanual and manual modes, while seeing your data in 3D. So this way, you can use the same engine to delete and fix traces.

Additionally i still want to make some automatic flags based on time info, but that will be more custom.

I think it can be very useful to give a 'diorama' feel to a render and highlight certain complexity! But probably mostly for artistic purposes

This is accompanied by a new set of tutorials showing exactly how you can start making beautiful microscopy visualizations in @blender.org!
Following along is also easy with the example OME-Zarr @openmicroscopy.org datasets 😄

10 - Featured extension: Mastodon-Blender

Offers a bridge from Mastodon to Blender to create high quality 3D rendering of lineages and cell tracks over time:

(Tracking data of phallusia mammillata embryogenesis by Guignard et a. (2020). doi.org/10.1126/scie...)

And it also works in 2D 😁 Here we extract a circular projection instead of a spherical, and apply a 1D Fourier transform.
Here we can see how the channel distributions all align in the projection after we optically activate Rac1 in one part of the cell. 💡
