Microchamber slide design for cell confinement during imaging- early encystment

The data shows an early stage of Colpoda steinii encystment.

We performed Imaging on a Nikon Ti2-E & Yokogawa CSU W1-SoRa microscope. The microscope was equipped with an ORCA-Fusion BT digital C-MOS camera. We used a 10× 0.45 Plan Apo Air objective for differential interference contrast (DIC) imaging. More microscopy information is detailed in the metadata file associated with each .nd2 files. The repository contains timelapse data.
