Counting colonies
The result of the test measurement will appear in the Last Measurement Results panel
and the Adjust button will be enabled:
The result of the test measurement will not be added to the Results table (see The
Results table , page 77).
If the button below the image is labeled All Colony Markers, the detected colonies will
also be marked on the image using the colors and markers selected for each colony type
(if the button is labeled No Colony Markers, press the button and select All Colony
Markers to display the detected colonies on the image).
2. Check the image to make sure that the colonies have been correctly detected.
3. If you are satisfied with the colony detection, go straight to Step 4.
Otherwise, if there are problems with the colony detection, press Adjust to display the
Settings menu:
The controls are used in exactly the same way as when you are setting up a batch – see
Total Plate Count

Note If required, you will also be able to change the Sensitivity, Reject Small Particles and Split
Touching Colonies settings after you have performed and recorded the count – see
