Serial section images of Oikopleura dioica juvenile using SBF-SEM

The larvacean, Oikopleura dioica is a planktonic chordate, which is an
emerging model organism with short life cycle of 5 days and belongs to
tunicates (urochordates). Organ formation in the trunk proceeds in seven
hours form hatching of tailbud larvae at three hours after fertilization
(hpf) to completion of organ formation in fully functional juveniles that
start feeding at 10 hpf and are just miniature of adult form. The dataset
is serial section images of Oikopleura dioica juvenile that were obtained
using SBF-SEM (Serial block face scanning electron microscopy). The 1961
TIFF images were compressed to a zip file. The juveniles were fixed at
10.5 hours post fertilization, 30 min after the tail shift (Nishida, H.,
2008 Development of the appendicularian Oikopleura dioica: culture,
genome, and cell lineages. Dev. Growth Differ. 50, S239–S256.). The
dataset would be used as a basic morphological data of this animal to
explore organ structures and cellular composition at electron microscopic
level. This data is related to the paper, 3D reconstruction of structures
of hatched larva and young juvenile of the larvacean Oikopleura dioica
using SBF-SEM. (Scientific Reports, 2021, 11, 4833)
