attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Seawater samples (500 mL) for microscopical analysis were gently collected\nfrom the CTD and immediately preserved for slide preparation according to a\nmodified protocol of Sherr and Sherr (1993). The samples were first preserved\nwith 260 uL of alkaline Lugol\\u2019s solution, immediately followed by 10 mL\nof buffered formalin and 500 uL of sodium thiosulfate, with gentle mixing\nbetween each addition. Preserved samples were shielded from light and left to\nrest at room temperature for 1 h. After the rest period, 1 mL of proflavin\n(0.33% w/v) was added and the samples were stored in the dark for an\nadditional hour. Just prior to filtration, the preserved samples were stained\nwith 1 mL of DAPI (0.01 mg mL-1) and immediately transferred to the filtration\nmanifold. A 50-mL aliquot (small volume, SV) of the sample was filtered\nthrough a 25-mm black polycarbonate filter with 0.8-um pore size, and the\nremaining 450 mL aliquot (large volume, LV) was filtered through a 25-mm black\npolycarbonate filter with 8.0-um pores. A 10-mm nylon backing filter was\nplaced under all polycarbonate filters to promote even cell distribution, and\nfiltered the samples under gentle vacuum pressure (<100 mm Hg). Each filter\nwas then mounted onto glass slides with one drop of Type DF immersion oil and\na No. 2 cover slip, and the prepared slides were frozen at -80\\u00b0C for\nlater analysis in the lab. NOTE: ciliated protists are poorly preserved by\nthis method and are not included in these analyses.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_1_dataset_instrument_nid String 517424
attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_1_description String An inverted microscope is a microscope with its light source and condenser on the top, above the stage pointing down, while the objectives and turret are below the stage pointing up. It was invented in 1850 by J. Lawrence Smith, a faculty member of Tulane University (then named the Medical College of Louisiana).\n\nInverted microscopes are useful for observing living cells or organisms at the bottom of a large container (e.g. a tissue culture flask) under more natural conditions than on a glass slide, as is the case with a conventional microscope. Inverted microscopes are also used in micromanipulation applications where space above the specimen is required for manipulator mechanisms and the microtools they hold, and in metallurgical applications where polished samples can be placed on top of the stage and viewed from underneath using reflecting objectives.\n\nThe stage on an inverted microscope is usually fixed, and focus is adjusted by moving the objective lens along a vertical axis to bring it closer to or further from the specimen. The focus mechanism typically has a dual concentric knob for coarse and fine adjustment. Depending on the size of the microscope, four to six objective lenses of different magnifications may be fitted to a rotating turret known as a nosepiece. These microscopes may also be fitted with accessories for fitting still and video cameras, fluorescence illumination, confocal scanning and many other applications.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Research was aimed at improved understanding of plankton dynamics, carbon and nutrient fluxes, and potential trace element limitation in the Costa Rica Dome region of the eastern tropical Pacific. The specific science objectives of the 2010 R/V Melville cruise (MV1008) were:\n1) to assess grazing and trace metal/nutrient controls on primary production and phytoplankton standing stocks;\n2) to quantify carbon and elemental fluxes and export rates from the euphotic zone; and\n3) to measure microbial population, processes, stable isotope abundances associated with the OMZ and nitrite maxima.\nAdditional information about MV1008 can be found in the cruise report (PDF).\nNOTE: The original proposal and award abstract are not relevant. The project was originally funded by NSF as experimental tests of phytoplankton controls in the Arabian Sea. Piracy concerns in the region led to the cancellation of the research cruise in 2009, and a Change of Scope request was approved to focus the project on related issues in the Costa Rica Dome (CRD).\nThough this project is not formally affiliated with any large program, it aligns with IMBER's emphasis on community ecology and biogeochemistry, and the OCB focus on carbon-based measurements of production, grazing and export processes.
