ABSTRACT:
A method for identifying images of wells in an image of a well-bearing object such as multiwell plates or picowell carriers is provided. An observation component, such as a camera, is used to approach focus of a focal point of a well-bottom. An image of the focal point is acquired. The image of the well-bottom focal point is then used as a reference point or used to define a reference point from which to identify the image of the well in the image of the well-bearing component and from which to delineate the borders of the well.
