Ground truth of a HeLa cell observed with Electron Microscopy. Five labels: 1 nuclear envelope, 2 nucleus, 3 other cells, 4 background, 5 cell

This is a data set that contains 300 labelled HeLa cell images, indicating the five different classes: 

1. nuclear envelope,
2. nucleus,
3. other cells,
4. background and
5. cell.

The ground truth is based on a data set previously released in Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3874949), which contained four classes, nuclear envelope, nucleus, cells, background. For this data set the class cell was divided to contain other cells and the cell that corresponds to the nucleus.

Each  image corresponds to a 3D stack of images acquired with Electron Microscopy and are released as tif images and Matlab files.

Details of the imaging, preparation and analysis of the Electron Microscopy images and have been published in:
