All of OME's public datasets are available here:

http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/images/

The vast majority of datasets that we have were sent to us without
explicit permission to redistribute, so we cannot make those datasets
available.

The public data from the OpenSlide project may be more immediately
useful (though some formats there are not yet supported by Bio-Formats):
