Gallery of amusements: FlyWire edition!

In the same vein as the original Eyewire topic, post things you find interesting and/or amusing, achievements, etc. I think it’ll also be nice to include a FlyWire link alongside any images, so people can check out the content themselves!

I’ll start: I got my first “Bouqet” type cell today, and it just kept splitting off itself! So many different colorful ‘flowers’ giving spring feelings :slight_smile: Funny observation: The yellow and purple branch in the bottom right are the same branch! The yellow one just makes a sudden 180° turn to end in the dark purple arbor.

Does all “flowers” fit the body or you added them just for the screenshot ?
Edit : did not see the link !

These are all part of one single cell!

Bouquets are just really fun to capture!

This one is particularly fun because, due to a misalignment, I was able to separate the branches into individual ‘flowers’ and check them more easily one by one. You can see how I broke this up for review here: FlyWire

A nice collection of L4s (with some mergers)

So cool!

Here’s another cool cell, called a DM9 (dordal medulla cell layer 9). Each of those little bundles forms synapses with a different column.

I feel like this could be straight out of The Witness

This was a fun one to trace - it split quite early along the branch, but stayed bundled together the rest of the way

Found a curious white line in the picture, maybe a blood vessel?, but not seeing it any longer when zooming in

What a beautiful (and huge!) cell. Not mine.

This is a very interesting cell type! A bundling branch in the middle, and the soma very close to it.

We do so love bouquets. This one is a new record for me so far: 21 “flowers”.

Here’s a link to the pre-merged version as seen: FlyWire

This looks like a slide jump where the 2D had some overexposure or it could be an area where there was a “crack” in the EM slides and it got sewn back together here. There are few “cracks” in the data that had to be corrected during post-processing of the EM.

Ever wonder what these ridged shapes are in the EM? They’re trachea! Trachea is akin to blood vessels, except they circulate air instead of blood.
