The dataset contains diagnostic hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). For each ccRCC case, we selected one to four representative formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks and cut 10 µm sections using PEN MembraneSlides 1.0 . These were stained with H&E according to standard procedures. Slides were digitized scanning z-stacks with seven z-slices in 0.5 µm increments using a Hamamatsu C9600 scanner at ×40 optical magnification. The scanner resolution was 0.228 µm per pixel.
