RI tomograms of C. elegans larvae

This dataset contains results presented in the following manuscript: K. Kim, V. R. Gade, T. V. Kurzchalia and J. Guck, 'Quantitative imaging of Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larvae during cryptobiotic transition using optical diffraction tomography,' available on bioRxiv and includes the refractive index (RI) tomograms of all C. elegans larvae measure by optical diffraction tomography. The files includeFigure2. RI tomograms of C. elegans larvae at L1, L2, and L3 larval stages in the reproductive cycle and at the L2d and dauer stages.Figure3. RI tomograms of C. elegans larvae before and after mild (98% RH) and harsh (60% RH) desiccation.Figure4. RI tomograms of C. elegans larvae before desiccation and after rehydration.Figure5. RI tomograms of C. elegans dauer larvae of trehalose deletion mutants daf-2;ΔΔtps, and lea-1 deletion mutants daf-2;lea-1.All *.mat files include variables: res3, res4 and stitchedReconimg. res3 is the lateral resolution (um), and res4 is the axial resolution (um). stitchedReconimg is the RI tomogram (xyz).
