Supplemental Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy Data - An arbuscular mycorrhiza from the 407-million-year-old Windyfield chert identified through advanced fluorescence and Raman imaging (tif format)

These data are images obtained on a 70-μm slice sample from the Windyfield Cherts Unit near Rhynie, Scotland (slide no. NMS G.2022.11.48.1, National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh). Data A - Confocal Z-stack of water-conducting cells of the vascular strand, scale bar 10 μm (Fig 1C) Data B - Confocal Z-stack of H-branching in hyphal development, scale bar 10 μm (Fig.1D) Data C - Confocal Z-stack of a hypha with pseudoseptum, scale bar 10 μm (Fig. 1E) Data D - Confocal Z-stack of a fungal spore, scale bar 10 μm (Fig. 1G) Data E - Confocal Z-stack of a spore, scale bar 10 μm (Fig. 1H) Data F - Confocal Z-stack of a vesicle and branching hypha, scale bar 10 μm (Fig. 1I) Data G - Confocal Z-stack of arbuscules, scale bar 10 μm (Fig.1K) Data H - Z-stack showing relatively short average lifetime of autofluorescence of the arbuscules (blue/cyan) compared to areas of the plant devoid of fungal structures (green). (Fig.2A) Data H1 - Z-stack of the short lifetime that represents the arbuscules only (Fig.2B) Data H2 - Z-stack of the long lifetime representing plant-plus-arbuscules. (Fig.2C)
