Using 2592 image pairs from four cell types representing key morphological categories, we constructed 42 investigation patterns to evaluate the effects of dataset size, dataset content, and morphological diversity on model performance. Our results showed that robust segmentation models could be developed with approximately 10 raw images captured using a 4× objective lens, a much smaller dataset than typically assumed. The dataset content was found to be crucial: training dataset images that captured commonly observed cell patterns yielded more robust models compared to those capturing rare or irregular cell patterns, which often impaired model performance with large deviations. Additionally, including both spindle and round cell morphologies in the training datasets improved model robustness when tested across all four cell types, while datasets restricted to a single morphology type could not achieve robust models. These findings highlight the importance of curating datasets that capture representative yet diverse cell morphologies.
