Icount 33 Automatic Colony Counter


Icount 33 Automatic Colony Counter

Product Description

Adopting an all-metal chassis without ambient light interference, the multi-mode illumination system integrates fog light diffuse reflection illumination, white ling translucent bottom light illumination, and compound suspended dark field illumination to adapt to various types of flat dish imaging.

The software is equipped with rich image recognition algorithms, suitable for complex colony image processing. The new version of the software has added a fast statistics module, customers just need to rotate the mouse wheel, easy to get the best statistical results, lifting the laborious manual parameter setting and trying.

Fog light diffuse lighting
The fog light system consisting of 96 LED arrays and nano light-reflecting materials is embedded in the design, and the bright, foggy diffuse light fills the camera chamber to form a uniform upper illumination. Colonies and culture media have a natural color, and glass petri dishes do not form common refraction phenomena such as light spots and halos.

Duplex Suspended Darkfield Lighting
The compound dark field illumination consists of a double layer of dark field contour light with a black background, and the light intensity can be freely adjusted. The uniform, parallel mixed backlight penetrates the culture medium and gives a beautiful contour to the colonies, creating brightly colored colonies against a dark background.

white translucent underlighting
Xun digital original Ling translucent backlighting lighting, composed of white LED backlight module light source, reflective plate, light guide plate, you can control the intensity and direction of the transmitted light. A change in the conventional backlighting lighting can only form a silhouette mode, for light colors, tiny colonies more three-dimensional expression.

Highly efficient digital imaging
High-fidelity fixed-focus lens, 8.5 megapixel USB3.0 high-speed CMOS industrial camera to quickly show colony morphology and color.

Intelligent and fast statistics
Seven kinds of fast statistical buttons, easy to use, just the mouse wheel rotation to achieve continuous parameter changes, easy to get the best statistical results.
Eight complex statistical algorithms to adapt to the diversity and complexity of the plate, such as multiple adhesions, uneven media, coexistence of impurities and colonies, diffusion of pigments, and proximity of colonies to the color of the media ......


Product Specification
