  Confocal fluorescence microscopy is one of the most accessible and widely used
34
  imaging techniques for the study of biological processes at the cellular and
35
  subcellular levels. Scanning confocal microscopy allows the capture of
36
- high-quality images from thick three-dimensional (3D) samples, yet suffers from
37
  well-known limitations such as photobleaching and phototoxicity of specimens
38
  caused by intense light exposure, which limits its use in some applications,
39
  especially for living cells. Cellular damage can be alleviated by changing
40
  imaging parameters to reduce light exposure, often at the expense of image
41
- quality. Machine/deep learning methods for single-image super-resolution (SISR)
42
- can be applied to restore image quality by upscaling lower-resolution (LR)
43
- images to produce high-resolution images (HR). These SISR methods have been
44
- successfully applied to photo-realistic images due partly to the abundance of
45
- publicly available data. In contrast, the lack of publicly available data
46
- partly limits their application and success in scanning confocal microscopy.
47
- In this paper, we introduce a large scanning confocal microscopy dataset named
48
- SR-CACO-2 that is comprised of low- and high-resolution image pairs marked for
49
- three different fluorescent markers. It allows the evaluation of performance of
50
- SISR methods on three different upscaling levels (X2, X4, X8). SR-CACO-2
51
- contains the human epithelial cell line Caco-2 (ATCC HTB-37), and it is
52
- composed of 22 tiles that have been translated in the form of 9,937 image
 
53
  patches for experiments with SISR methods. Given the new SR-CACO-2 dataset,
54
- we also provide benchmarking results for 15 state-of-the-art methods that are
55
  representative of the main SISR families. Results show that these methods have
56
- limited success in producing high-resolution textures, indicating that SR-CACO-2
57
- represents a challenging problem. Our dataset, code and pretrained weights are
58
