Dinoflagellate Project - Lab Entry #5

In this lab entry of my Dinoflagellates project on experiment.com (https://experiment.com/projects/creating-a-neural-network-that-classifies-dinoflagellate-species?s=discover) I discuss the challenges I am facing at the moment regarding ordering the cells to image them. I have not found a collection lab that would sell me permanent slides of the cells at an affordable price, and the collection labs that that I found will sell only living cells, but will not send these cells to Saudi Arabia since normal mail takes ages to get processed and the collection labs will not send the cells through a fast courier (thus I end up with dead cells). My solution to is expand my cell types to include other cell types (diatoms and algae) that I can easily purchase and receive.
I don't like the final quality of the video, unfortunatly my computer does not have enough processing power to record HD videos. I will try to fix this.
