Automated counting of mammalian cell colonies.
Investigating the effect of low-dose radiation exposure on cells using assays of colony-forming ability requires large cell samples to maintain statistical accuracy. Manually counting the resulting colonies is a laborious task in which consistent objectivity is hard to achieve. This is true especially with some mammalian cell lines which form poorly defined or 'fuzzy' colonies, typified by glio...
متن کاملCOVASIAM: an image analysis method that allows detection of confluent microbial colonies and colonies of various sizes for automated counting.
In this work we introduce the confluent and various sizes image analysis method (COVASIAM), an automated colony count technique that uses digital imaging technology for detection and separation of confluent microbial colonies and colonies of various sizes growing on petri dishes. The proposed method takes advantage of the optical properties of the surfaces of most microbial colonies. Colonies i...
متن کاملLow-cost, high-throughput, automated counting of bacterial colonies.
Research involving bacterial pathogens often requires enumeration of bacteria colonies. Here, we present a low-cost, high-throughput colony counting system consisting of colony counting software and a consumer-grade digital camera or document scanner. We demonstrate that this software, called "NICE" (NIST's Integrated Colony Enumerator), can count bacterial colonies as part of a high-throughput...

MALLIGO, JOHN E. (Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.). Evaluation of an automatic electronic device for counting bacterial colonies. Appl. Microbiol. 13:931-934. 1965.-An automatic colony counter was tested extensively with colonies of two bacterial species, Serratia marcescens and Bacillus subtilis var. niger, grown on agar media. A stable relationship was established between machine counts and coun...
متن کاملAutomated Counting of Yeast Colonies using the Fast Radial Transform Algorithm
A method for counting yeast colonies in images of Petri dishes, based on the fast radial transform by Loy and Zelinsky, is introduced and evaluated in the paper. The paper focuses on processing images produced by a general-purpose imaging setup. The characteristic properties of the images, as produced by the setup used in the cooperating genetics research laboratory, are described. The performa...
