Description of the biological application
The morphology of astrocytes is highly heterogeneous and counting them is currently a laborious task. Development of fully automated counting methods for astrocytes from immunohistological images without any user intervention is one of the major challenges.
Images
There are 1200 images. The images were saved from scanned slides. Slides were scanned using the 3DHISTECH Scanner (3DHISTECH Ltd, Budapest, Hungary). The image size is 990 × 708 pixels. Images are available in 8-bit TIF format.
Ground truth 
The images contain GFAP staining in different rat brain regions. These images were used to train Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). Corresponding text files contain coordinates of labeled cells to train DCNN. 15000 cells were labeled.
