This is an electron microscopy based study, not light microscopy (i.e. SPIM or open-spim). Or did you mean something else?
What's completely crazy in this research is the ability to thin-section fly brains. Thousands and thousands of slices _of a fly brain_, good old physical science at the heart, crowd-sourced to connect the dots (though I'm not positive that's the case in this paper). The open-hardware imaging tools used in some studies like this are also super cool- https://openspim.org/.
