61
  - Realistic **synthetic MT images**
62
  - Pixel-perfect **instance segmentation labels**
63
- - A **label-free generation pipeline** that adapts to any real microscope domain
64
- - A comprehensive benchmark of **classical**, **microscopy-specialized**, and **general-purpose foundation models** (SAM, SAM2, SAM3, SAM3Text)

- → **SAM3Text**, prompted with *“thin line”* and tuned on **only 10 synthetic images**, achieves **near-human or super-human** segmentation accuracy on unseen real data.
