摘要： The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for counting the number of microorganism colonies present on a disposable microorganism culturing device having a substantially planar substrate. The preferred apparatus (10) of the present invention includes an LED bar (20) illuminating the surface of the substrate and a linear array of SELFOC lenses (22) which focus the light reflected off of the substrate onto a linear CCD sensor array (24). The CCD sensor array (24) is connected to a microprocessor (32) which analyzes the raster-scanned data using the preferred algorithm. The preferred algorithm used the sigma-shaped neighborhood for image processing. The preferred algorithm passes the sigma region across the image in a raster-scanned order to detect object starts and merges which yield a colony count for a scanned microorganism culturing device.
