[Tex/LaTex] How to break a long equation?

equationsline-breaking

I have an equation long enough to occupy two lines.
I want to break it to improve readability. How can I break it?

\begin{equation}
F = \{F_{x} \in  F_{c} : (|S| > |C|) \cap 
(minPixels  < |S| < maxPixels) \cap 
(|S_{connected}| > |S| - \epsilon)
  \}
\end{equation}

I want to break it in 3 lines after \cap. But \\ or \n didn't work.

Use split environment provided by amsmath package.

\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
F = \{F_{x} \in  F_{c} &: (|S| > |C|) \\
 &\quad \cap (\text{minPixels}  < |S| < \text{maxPixels}) \\
 &\quad \cap (|S_{\text{conected}}| > |S| - \epsilon) \}
\end{split}
\end{equation}
