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 <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> dauer larvae during cryptobiotic transition using optical diffraction tomography,' available on bioRxiv and includes the refractive index (RI) tomograms of all <i>C. elegans</i> larvae measure by optical diffraction tomography. The files include<br>Figure2. RI tomograms of <i>C. elegans</i> larvae at L1, L2, and L3 larval stages in the reproductive cycle and at the L2d and dauer stages.<br>Figure3. RI tomograms of C. elegans larvae before and after mild (98% RH) and harsh (60% RH) desiccation.<br>Figure4. RI tomograms of <i>C. elegans</i> larvae before desiccation and after rehydration.<br>Figure5. RI tomograms of <i>C. elegans</i> dauer larvae of trehalose deletion mutants <i>daf-2;ΔΔtps</i>, and<i> lea-1 </i>deletion mutants <i>daf-2;lea-1</i>.<br>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).
