The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Cell Segmentation: 50 Years Down the Road [Life Sciences] (2012, background): “Alternatively, in more variable scenarios, edge detection (first-order differential filtering) or ridge detection (second-order differential filtering) is often used, followed by some linking procedure [13].”
Tracking in cell and developmental biology. (2009, background): “One approach to segmentation is to compare the value of each image pixel to a preset threshold value and to label pixels with values above (below) the threshold as foreground (background) [22].”
Robust Nucleus/Cell Detection and Segmentation in Digital Pathology and Microscopy Images: A Comprehensive Review (2016, background): “The binary mathematical morphology can be extended to gray-scale morphology and directly applied to gray-scale images [52], [53].”
Neuron tracing in perspective (2010, background): “Although prevention is better than cure, to some extent artifacts can be removed by image processing operations such as (nonlinear) smoothing (21,22), deconvolution (20,23,24), shading correction (21,22), and morphological filtering (25–27).”
