20140161330 | BIO-IMAGING METHOD AND SYSTEM - A method for enhancing an image of a biological sample, which biological sample has been grown in a vessel on a culture medium. | 06-12-2014 |
20140293036 | BIO-IMAGING METHOD AND SYSTEM - An imaging system for generating images of biological samples having a surface, the system comprising: a sample support for supporting a biological sample in use; a plurality of illumination sources, the plurality of illumination sources being arranged around the sample support and each adapted to illuminate the biological sample, in use, from a different direction; an image capture device for capturing illumination which has impinged on the biological sample to thereby form an image of the sample; wherein at least one of the illumination sources direction is not perpendicular to the surface of the sample. | 10-02-2014 |
20140322745 | OPTICAL METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE MOVEMENT OF A SAMPLING TOOL - The present invention relates to a method of sampling biological material on a reference surface, such as the surface of an agar medium, with the aid of a sampling tool, said method making it possible to steer the displacement of the sampling tool towards the reference surface, from a first position towards a second position, and/or of the reference surface towards the sampling tool, from a first position towards a second position, said second position being a contact position in which the sampling tool and the reference surface are in contact, said method comprising the following steps:

20150268163 | Method For Observing Biological Species - A method for observing biological species on a culture medium contained in a container having at least one translucent face, the method including the steps of: a) directing a light beam onto one portion of the translucent face, so as to define at least one illuminated region and at least one non-illuminated region of the face; and b) acquiring an image of a portion of the surface of the culture medium illuminated by the light beam, the acquisition being carried out through at least one of the non-illuminated regions of the translucent face and along an optical acquisition axis forming a non-zero angle (a) with the direction of propagation of the light beam. | 09-24-2015 |
20150278575 | BIO-IMAGING METHOD - A method for defining an isolation area around an object of interest in a cell culture vessel, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining one or more images of the cell culture vessel using one or more of a plurality of illumination sources, each illumination source being capable of illuminating the vessel from a different direction; selecting an image or combination of images for further processing; applying a circular object detection transformation to identify one or more objects of interest being substantially circular objects in the cell culture vessel, which circular objects of interest are representative of isolated colonies in the cell culture vessel and determining the center of an object of interest; applying a binarizing step to obtain a binarized image of the object of interest and other objects, wherein the center of the binarized image corresponds to the center of the object of interest; iteratively forming concentric circles with increasing radius, wherein the concentric circles are centered on the center of the binarized image; identifying coronas, wherein a corona is delimited by two circles having successive radius values; for each corona: determining the presence and the location of any other object located in the corona to determine the presence and the location of other objects; determining a clearance angle defining an angular sector free of other objects around the object of interest to define the isolation area around the object of interest. | 10-01-2015 |
