The preparation and evaluation of quantum states for optimal entanglement-enhanced metrology relies on an accurate determination of the number of atoms. We present an accurate fluorescence detection of atoms trapped in a miniature magneto-optical trap. We utilize the accurate atom number detection for a number stabilization of a laser-cooled atomic ensemble. For a target ensemble size of seven atoms prepared on demand, we achieve a 92 % preparation fidelity and reach number fluctuation 18 dB below the shot noise level using real-time feedback on the magneto-optical trap.
