This paper presents a new method to separate cells on microscopic surfaces joined together in cell clusters into individual cells.\r\nImportant features of this method are that the remaining object geometry is preserved and few contour points are required\r\nfor finding joints between neighboring cells. There are alternative methods such as morphological operations or the watershed\r\ntransformation based on the inverse distance transformation but they have certain disadvantages compared to themethod presented\r\nin this paper. The discussed method contains knowledge-based components in form of a decision function and exchangeable rules\r\nto avoid unwanted separations.
