Dataset

Description

This dataset includes a total of 300 images of 45 extant species of Podocarpus (Podocarpaceae) and nine images of fossil specimens of the morphogenus Podocarpidites. The goal of this dataset is to capture the diversity of morphology within the genus and create an image database for training machine learning models.

The images were taken using Airyscan confocal superresolution microscopy at 630x magnification (63x/NA 1.4 oil DIC). The images are in the CZI file format. They can be opened using Zeiss propriety software (Zen, Zen lite) or open microscopy software, such as ImageJ. More information on how to open CZI files can be found here: [https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/us/products/software/zeiss-zen/czi-image-file-format.html]
