Summary

This dataset accompanies a replication study investigating whether the apparent translocation of microplastics into the tissues of Daphnia magna (a tiny water flea) was a real biological phenomenon or an artifact of fluorescence microscopy. The study raises important methodological cautions for researchers using fluorescent particles to track microplastic uptake in organisms.

Daphnia

We conducted a replication study for Rosenkranz et al. (2009).Our data consists of CLSM images of Daphnia exposed to 20 nm and 1000 nm polystyrene particles with a number of conditions and specimen treatments.
