LM coccosphere images, from CODENET II Cruise samples

The cruise samples are being counted by various workers as part of an intercalibration exercise. These LM images are intended to assist with adoption of a common taxonomy. N.B. The image quality is not superb since the specimens are on filters and we have had some problems getting them to clarify completely.
