You pick a threshold and then do
binaryImage = grayImage < thresholdValue;
if you want any more advice, post an image and say what you want to find or measure. The threshold can be chosen form the histogram, for example from my interactive thresholding application: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?term=authorid%3A31862

sorry its histogram, initially generate histogram of the image, then remove background, so the only white area (image) should show.

[pixelCounts, grayLevels] = imhist(grayImage, 256);
binaryImage = grayImage < 128;
Do the above thresholding for each color channel and then AND the 3 binary images to get the overall binary image for the color image.
