Abstract: A method of identifying microbial colonies in a culture device is provided. The method comprises using an imaging device to produce a first image of a thin film culture device while providing illumination to a front side of the device and to produce a second image of the thin film culture device while providing illumination to a back side of the device. The method further comprises analyzing the first and second images to identify microorganism colonies in each image, analyzing the first and second images values of a size parameter for a colony at a particular location in the culture device, and comparing the values. The method can be used to differentiate and count at least two colony types.

Abstract: A first method comprises using an imaging device to produce a plurality of images of a culture device, analyzing a first image to identify a microorganism colony at a first location, analyzing a second image to identify a gas bubble at a second location, and determining whether the first location is proximate the second location. A second method comprises analyzing an image of a culture device to detect gas bubbles and classifying the gas bubbles according to a size parameter associated with each of the gas bubbles. A third method comprises analyzing a first area of an image of a culture device to detect a first number of gas bubbles, analyzing a second area of the image to detect a second number of gas bubbles, and comparing the first number of gas bubbles to the second number of gas bubbles.
