AnalyzeColonyGrowth

AnalyzeColonyGrowth[ColoniesAnalysis]⟹ColoniesGrowthAnalysis

filters the colonies of a single plate in ColoniesAnalysis based on morphology properties (diameter, separation, regularity and circularity), and then tracks the number and morphology changes of colonies. The colony growth analysis may be used to determine the termination of incubation for solid media samples.

AnalyzeColonyGrowth[AppearanceColoniesImages]⟹Object

examines AppearanceColoniesImages of a single plate to tracks the number and morphology properties (diameter, separation, regularity and circularity). If no colonies analysis is found, AnalyzeColonies are run automatically.

Basic Examples (4)

AnalyzeColonyGrowth can take a list of colonies analysis data as input:

AnalyzeColonyGrowth can take a list of colonies appearance data as input:

AnalyzeColonyGrowth can take a single colonies analysis data as input:

AnalyzeColonyGrowth can take a single colonies appearance data as input:

Additional Examples (3)

If input is appearance data and no colony analysis is associated with it, AnalyzeColonies is called to generate colony analysis on the fly:

If not all input appearance data are on the same orientation, the first BrightField image is used as reference to flip and shift later data:

If the second input colony analysis data has ReferenceImages with different orientation as the first data, the coordinates of colonies of the second analysis are rotated and shifted:

Options (8)

ExcludedColonies (1)

Set ExcludeColonies to filter out the colonies from previous analysis:

MaxCircularityRatio (1)

Set MaxCircularityRatio to filter out the more circular colonies:

MaxDiameter (1)

Set MaxDiameter to filter out the larger colonies:

MaxRegularityRatio (1)

Set the MaxRegularityRatio to filter out the more regular colonies:

MinCircularityRatio (1)

Set MinCircularityRatio to filter out the less circular colonies:

MinColonySeparation (1)

Set MinColonySeparation to filter out the colonies that grow close together:

MinDiameter (1)

Set MinDiameter to allow more small colonies through filtering:

MinRegularityRatio (1)

Set MinRegularityRatio to filter out the less regular colonies:

Messages (4)

ConflictingImageDimensions (1)

An error is thrown if appearance data contains different size of images:

EmptyAppearanceData (1)

An error is thrown if no appearance data is present:

EmptyDataField (1)

An error is thrown if no image data in appearance data:

MinCannotExceedMax (1)

An error is thrown if the minimum option exceeds the maximum option for the filtering option Min/Max pairs:
