You could first normalize the image with CLAHE.
Then you could do the object detection by using Plugins - Segmentation
- Trainable Segmentation (it's like a fancy threshold). After
obtaining the mask, run the Particle Analyzer on it to count elements.

Both plugins are pre-installed in Fiji (http://fiji.sc).
