# Anonymous Microscopy Focus Test Set

This repository contains an anonymized microscopy image test set prepared for double-blind peer review of the associated anonymous submission.

The dataset includes microscopy focus-stack TIFF sequences with fused reference images where available, plus additional JPEG microscopy image series. File and directory names have been replaced with neutral sample identifiers.

## Data Fields

`metadata.csv` gives sample-level information:

- `sample_id`: anonymized sample identifier.
- `specimen_group`: coarse specimen category.
- `region`: coarse anatomical/imaging region.
- `modality`: `focus_stack_tiff` or `jpeg_series`.
- `magnification`: reported only when needed for reproducibility and not identifying.
- `z_step_um`: reported only when needed for reproducibility and not identifying.
- `num_files`: number of files in the anonymized sample directory.
- `has_fusion_reference`: whether `fusion.tif` is provided.

`manifest.csv` gives file-level information including relative path, role, frame index, image size, byte size, and SHA-256 checksum.

## Review-Period Anonymity

This dataset is provided in anonymized form for peer review. The public record, formal citation, author attribution, and any additional provenance details will be added after the review process permits deanonymization.
