Distinguishing cell types in peripheral blood smears is critical for diagnosing blood diseases, such as leukemia subtypes. Artificial intelligence can assist in automating cell classification. For training robust machine learning algorithms, however, large and well-annotated single-cell datasets are pivotal. Here, we introduce a large, publicly available, annotated peripheral blood dataset comprising >40,000 single-cell images classified into 18 classes by cytomorphology experts from the Munich Leukemia Laboratory, the largest European laboratory for blood disease diagnostics. By making our dataset publicly available, we provide a valuable resource for medical and machine learning researchers and support the development of reliable and clinically relevant diagnostic tools for diagnosing hematological diseases.
