Colony Counter
Detailed Specifications: The colony counter features an illuminated viewing surface with bright LED illumination. The magnifying lens provides 2-3x magnification. The viewing surface accommodates standard 90mm and 150mm Petri dishes. The digital display is a large LCD type with backlight. The counter includes audible beep feedback for each count. The multiple counting registers allow counting of different colony types. The counting probe is pressure-sensitive for marking counted colonies. The foot pedal option allows hands-free counting. The counter includes a totalizer function for sum calculation. The reset function clears counts for the next plate. The counter operates on 220V/50Hz power. The dimensions are approximately 250mm x 200mm x 150mm. The weight is approximately 3kg. The counter includes a dark background and white background for colony contrast. The instruction manual is included.
Colony Counter. The Colony Counter Model MIC-15634 from Micron is a top rated instrument for enumerating bacterial and fungal colonies on agar plates in microbiology laboratories. This illuminated colony counter provides a magnified, well-lit view of Petri dishes for accurate colony counting. The digital display shows the count in real-time with audible feedback for each count. The multiple counting registers allow counting of different colony types or dilutions. For microbiology laboratories seeking the best colony counter for routine plate counting, the MIC-15634 is an outstanding choice that combines accuracy with ergonomic design.
One of the best features of the MIC-15634 colony counter is its illuminated viewing surface and magnifying lens. The bright, even illumination from below or above provides optimal contrast for visualizing colonies. The magnifying lens (typically 2-3x) makes small colonies clearly visible. The digital display shows the count in real-time with large, easy-to-read digits. The audible beep confirms each count, preventing missed counts. The multiple counting registers allow separate counting of different colony types or dilutions. The pressure-sensitive counting surface or probe allows easy marking of counted colonies. The counter can be used with a hand probe or foot pedal for hands-free operation. Its illumination, magnification, and accuracy make it a top rated colony counter for food, clinical, and environmental microbiology.
