The 2 scanned specimens were obtained from plankton tows near Green Island, Taiwan and were still full of cytoplasm at the time of collection.

​
Note: ​Data 'stacks' contain the minimally processed 3D data (TIF files) that can be imported into your favorite 3D data processing software program (we use imageJ). The STL file is processed and ready for 3D printing.
