The Master Science LED Colony Counter is an ergonomic counter for colonies on Petri dishes and membrane filters. Counting is by pressure-sensitive touch with a beep for each colony, and the touch sensitivity can be adjusted to suit different dishes and users.
A glare-free white LED array with adjustable brightness lights the plate from below, while a top fill light and a large frameless 3X/9X magnifier make faint or small colonies easier to see.
