Merging Colonies
Users may merge colonies by performing an initial count (Automated Count, Identify by Color Count, or
User Defined Template Count), and merging colonies manually. Colonies should be merged when one
colony is treated as two separate colonies by the software. Colonies will only be merged if they are less
than 4 pixels apart.
•
To merge colonies, go to the
Edit colonies menu button under the Colony Counting Action Tab
and click on
Merge Colonies.
•
A new window will ask the user to "
Select the desired colonies and then press the Merge
button to join them."
•
Click onto the colonies to be merged.
•
The total colony count will change to reflect the changes due to using the merge function.
•
If the colony is hard to see, zoom in on the colony by using the zoom/pan functions at the bottom
of the screen. Click on the plus (+) sign to increase the zoom.
