ColonyDoc-It Imaging Station

Using the Software
Changing Filter Settings
To reduce user initial set-up time, filters were created to count “true” colonies and remove inherent defects from the
sample plate that would (without the filters) be included in the total colony count. The filters may prevent a colony
from being counted based on some critical parameters.
To set new filter parameters, click onto
the
Show Results Window > Filter >
Filter class
and drag the pointer to the
filter class to change.
A new
Filter Colonies
window will
appear with the following parameters:
Area, Perimeter, Avg Diameter
, and
Circularity
.
The predefined ranges are defined.
Each parameter can be changed to
accommodate a wide variety of sample
types.
The new range can either be inclusive or exclusive. Click onto the
Keep Range
or
Exclude range
depending on
sample requirements.
Enter the values to keep or exclude. Click
OK
.
The software will recount the colonies based on the new filter values.
