Editing plate measurements
3. You define the exclude region in the same way as when you add exclude regions before
making a measurement – see Exclude regions , page 69.
The plate will be remeasured with the new exclude region in place.
4. To remove the last exclude region you added to the image (you can repeat the
procedure to remove each of the regions in turn, including any added before the
measurement was made):
Press
The plate will be remeasured with the last exclude region removed.
5. Save the change to the result (see Saving changes to results
, page 82).
Zeroing the count
If the result for a plate is faulty in some way and you wish to exclude it, you can zero the
count. If you zero a result, it will still be shown in the Results table (see
The Results table
,
page 77) with count(s) equal to 0.
Notes This section shows you how to set the count(s) for a result to zero to record a zero result.
If you just want to remove all the colony markers from the image and set the counts to zero so
that you can count the colonies manually, press Clear Markers – see
Manually adding and
removing colonies , page 83.
If you want to delete a faulty result, press Delete Plate – see Deleting results , page 82.
However, if you delete a result, it will be removed from the results table completely, and you
will not be able to reset the change later if you change your mind about excluding the result
(see
Undoing and resetting changes , page 82).
To set the count(s) for a plate to zero:
1. Select the Edit Result tab for the plate result – see Editing plate measurements , page 78.
2. Press
All other result editing controls will be disabled apart from Save Changes, Undo All,
Reset (if there are previously saved changes) and the controls in the Editing Plate panel
at the bottom of the aCOLyte3 window.
3. Save the change to the result (see Saving changes to results , page 82).
The result will be zeroed in the Results table.
Note When you zero a result that contributes to a mean, the result will still contribute to the mean
(with count 0). If you want to remove the result's contribution to the mean, you can change its
plate identifier (see
Editing the plate identifier, comments and dilution
, page 81) or delete the
result (see Deleting results , page 82).
