JAVA UI to estimate colonies/plaques on a petri plate (Everything looks retro because it was built back in 2009 with default UI LOLOLOL!)
- Go to /dist and download CellCount.jar
- Go to download /example
- Run CellCount.jar
- Copy and past the location of plate_test.jpg into the "Image Address" box, then click the arrow (Load) next to it
At this point, you should see something like this, but your red and blue circles are still in their original positions
- To define "Count Area": Move your cursor close to the cross-hair (a small circle around the cross hair will light up to show that you can click now)
- click and drag the big red circle to the center of the plate
- Adjust the circle size by clicking and dragging anywhere close to the parameter of the big red circle ** Try to get all the colonies/plaques in the big red circle, but as little of anything else in it **
- To define "Mean colony size": Move the blue circle by clicking and dragging it to a colony of a representative size
- Adjust the blue circle size the same way you do with the red circle
- Then click "Analyze" on the left hand panel to see estimated count result
You got it! And yeah, you should just use ImageJ....... >_<
