Parasite Image Database - The Monster Hunter's Guide!

Post by SunshineLW »

Here is a parasite image database that I've been working on in my free time. My goal was to create a free resource that could help with identification of parasites of veterinary and human significance. The site contains over 3,000 images taken with stereo- and compound microscopes. The majority of the images are focus-stacked micrographs. Please, check it out if your interested. Bookmark it if you think it'll ever come in handy:

Here is a sample of what the database has to offer:
