Data From: Forabot: Automated Planktic Foraminifera Isolation and Imaging

<p>Physical inspection and sorting of foraminifera is a necessity in many research labs, as foraminifera serve as paleoenvironmental and chronostratigraphic indicators.</p> <p>In order to gain counts of species from samples, analyze chemical compositions, or extract morphological properties of foraminifera, research labs require human effort and time handling and sorting these microscopic fossils.</p> <p>The presented information supports Forabot, an open-source system that can physically manipulate individual foraminifera for imaging and isolation with minimal human interaction.</p> <p>The associated data, codebase, and documentation support building a Forabot and confirming results related to processing raw image data, error detection results, and proof of concept deep classification network.</p>
