ABSTRACT:
Changes in specified indicia of colony growth in the early stages of incubation are monitored to provide the early detection and enumeration of colonies in the growth medium. Data from images collected at different times is processed to enhance the detection of subtle changes in the specified indicia of colony growth and provide an early indication of the number of colonies present in the growth medium.
