This dataset contains thin-section images of the coccolithophorid algae Pleurochrysis carterae (CCMP645 cells) using a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM).  Image metadata such as magnification and cell_id are also included.  

The thin section images were taken on 21 January 2016. The file names indicate the metadata such as phytoplankton species (though P. carterae CCMP 645 reduced to just "645"), culture age, and magnification (4,600 x - 46,000 x).

The following zip files contain transmission electron micrograph images in TIF and JPG format. Metadata for these images, including the age of the imaged cell, are available by clicking the "Get Data" on this page.
