How do I count certain values within a column of a table?

I am currently working on a project that aims to create a program that counts cells on a specific image using image processing. I currently have the image altered so that the cells apear as white circular shapes on a solid black background (pictured below.)

I then used the code:

stats = regionprops('table',WBcells,'Centroid','MajorAxisLength','MinorAxisLength');

which produced the following table:

Now I need to figureout how to count values from the MajorAxisLength Column that are larger than 5 pixels and smaller than 26 pixels. If someone could please help me with this or give suggestions on a better way to count the cells that would be very helpful!

One approach —

MajorAxisLength = 30*rand(15,1)

MajorAxisLength = 15×1

25.3896 26.0832 15.9106 27.0072 2.4364 14.0032 12.0105 5.0400 22.0311 20.4358

Lv = (MajorAxisLength >= 5) & (MajorAxisLength <= 26)

Lv = 15×1 logical array
   1
   0
   1
   0
   0
   1
   1
   1
   1
   1

MeetCriteria = nnz(Lv)

MeetCriteria = 9

PctMeetCriteria = 100*MeetCriteria/numel(MajorAxisLength)

PctMeetCriteria = 60

See if that produces the desired result.

This does count all of the cells only 60 out of 173.

[Star Strider]

It counts all the cells and returns true only for those that meet the criteria. Then, it counts the true values to produce the ‘MeetCriteria’ variable. These can be combined into one line if desired:

MeetCriteria = nnz((MajorAxisLength >= 5) & (MajorAxisLength <= 26))

I kept them separate to demonstrate how the code works. (The ‘PctMeetCriteria’ is supplied to standardise the result.)

clc; clear all; close all;
img = imread('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/873730/image.png');
im = imcrop(img, [88 117 410 318]);
J = rgb2hsv(im);
bw = im2bw(mat2gray(J(:,:,2)), 0.6);
WBcells = imopen(bw, strel('disk', 3));
stats = regionprops(WBcells,'Centroid','MajorAxisLength','MinorAxisLength');
%  count values from the MajorAxisLength Column that are larger than 5 pixels and smaller than 26 pixels
ma = cat(1, stats.MajorAxisLength);
ce = cat(1, stats.Centroid);
ind = ma > 5 & ma < 26;

figure;
imshow(im);
hold on;
plot(ce(ind,1), ce(ind,2), 'r*');

This works great, however not all of the cells are marked. Also this program does not spit out a final count of the cells which is what I really needed help with.
