Microscope images of human cancer cell lines (U2OS and HL-60)

This is a dataset that contains microscope images from two cell lines, namely, a human osteosarcoma cell line (U2OS) and a human leukemia cell line (HL-60). The dataset was originally prepared for the cell counting task. It contains 165 labeled images (training: 133, test: 32).

The file contains three folders:

- training: 165 labeled images in .tiff format;
- test: 32 labeled images in .tiff format.

Each labeled image has the following name: X.Y.N.tiff

where:
X - the name of the human cancer cell line;
Y - a condition identifier (irrelevant);
N - the cell count.
