    Minhui,

    Try to activate "Split with Count" option in the Split button dropdown. You can choose Watershed or Boundary shape option.

    Hello YuriG!

    Thank for your reply.

    however, I already tried "Split with count"  and It is hard to separate the attached cells completely(Some were not separated.)

    Is there any other option?



    Thank you!

    Hi Minhui,

    I can see that your cells have a bright area (a couple of pixels) in the center. You can use Top-Hat filter (3D filters, Morpho group) to detect these areas as pre-processing step, then you can much easier segment them separately.

    Hi Minhui,

    I've attached several options that use Top-Hat filter in smart segmentation to count the cells on your image.
    The screenshot below shows the result of ringtophatgrow.iqo (load the image, load the IQO file from Count/Size tab, Measurements group and click Count):
