ColonyDoc-It Imaging Station
Once the first colony is selected, the new
image in the Step 1 of 2: Select classes
window will show a black background
along with all of the colonies that contain
the same color as the point identified in
the Analysis Details window.
Adjust the Point Sensitivity slider to
increase or decrease sensitivity.
Increasing and decreasing sensitivity
almost always improves the final count.
Continue clicking on colonies in the
captured image to add points and adjust
the Point Sensitivity as necessary until
the black and white image shows all the
colonies of interest identified in white.
To remove points or classes from the
Analysis Details window, highlight the
point and select Remove Point or
highlight the class and select Remove.
Click the Count button to proceed to the
next tab.
NOTE: The Step 1 of 2: Select classes tab allows the settings created in this window to be saved in a user defined
template. If there are no templates created, the drop down menu will list Default as the only template option. Go to the
Templates section of this manual for instructions on creating templates.
Step 2: Finish
The software will automatically move to the
second tab Step 2 of 2: Finish after Count
is selected in Step 1 of 2: Select classes.
To filter the colonies, adjust the shape or
colony size in the Filter colonies section.
Change slider buttons for shape (from
circular to irregular) and size (1 pixel to 200
pixels) to capture additional colonies or
eliminate colonies.
This window is a second means to save
settings into templates. Go to the
Templates section of this manual for
instructions on creating templates.

and to get the final count.
