DATASET	Δ_MIN (PIXELS)	M_MET (%)	M_WRM (%)	M_TOTAL (%)
D1	1,463	0.1	1.8	1.9
D2	1,072	1.4	0.7	2.1
D3	1,014	0.4	1.8	2.2
D4	1,184	1.8	2.1	3.9
D5	1,116	3.0	1.9	4.9
D6	1,314	2.2	1.7	3.9
D7	1,023	1.1	2.0	3.1
Average	1,169	1.4	1.7	3.1

Δ_min = estimated minimum area for region merging; M_MET = percent nuclei missed by multiscale entropy-based thresholding; M_WRM = percent nuclei missed by watershed and region merging; and M_Total = percent nuclei missed by the proposed algorithm
