Performing Colony Counting
99
Click OK.
If using the software for the first time, no templates are created and the User Defined
Template Count option appears grey. To create a template, first proceed through the
Manual Count functions to store settings.
Renumbering Colony/Zone Values
To enable easier statistical reporting of each colony or zone, the values assigned to each colony
or zone may be renumbered.
To renumber the values assigned to each colony or zone:
Click Recompute Colony Labels under the Grid Analysis Tools in the Colony count
module.
NOTE: The plate must have already been counted.
The Recompute Colony Labels function will read the plate from left to right and from
top to bottom. So the colony labeled 1 will be seated at the left and towards the top of
the plate.

The tabs are Classes, Colonies, Statistics, and Distribution.
Classes
In the Classes tab Show Results window, information is displayed which shows the:
Number of classes in the sample
Number of colonies in that class
Percent of colonies of that colony classification in the sample
Total area of the class on the sample (in pixels)
Percentage of area of the class on the sample
Mean area of the class (in pixels)
Standard deviation of the area
Minimum area (in pixels)
Maximum area (in pixels)
