Abstract

Micro-biological colony counters and more particularly, to a device and a method for lighting, conditioning and capturing image(s) of organic sample(s) such as but not limited to micro-organisms. The device () captures accurate image(s) of organic sample(s) and has a fixed focus imaging for repeatability in quality of images. The device () can capture images of organic sample in different lighting and color conditions thereby improving detection of microbiological colonies by increasing the contrast from the background medium. The color calibrated imaging device () provides diffused illumination by using polychromatic LED lights, light reflectors and light diffusers for optimal color reproduction of micro-biological colonies contained in organic sample(s). The device () is adapted for automatic capturing of images of organic sample(s) cultivated on petri dishes of different sizes.
