Micrographs and flow measurements of bacterial aggregates on an oil droplet in a microchannel

This dataset contains both time lapse and high speed micrographs of a bacterial suspension flowing past stationary crude oil droplets in a microfluidic channel collected between February 2, 2017 and June 20, 2017 in a laboratory at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Time lapse images are recorded at intervals between 30 sec and 5 min with an Andor EMCCD camera and high speed images are recorded at 1000 fps for 1 sec periods at intervals of 10 min with an IDT high speed camera. All images are acquired with a Nikon Ti-E microscope using DIC or phase contrast microscopy. Additionally processed images for PIV-assisted PTV measurements along with flow measurement data and particle position and velocity data are included. This dataset shows bacteria forming aggregates and streamers on the surface of an oil droplet and analyzes high speed imaging data for determining the hydrodynamic impact of said aggregates.
