software for counting colonies

[Michael Moser]

Dear Mike,
	You could try NIH Image with particle analysis macros.  I have 
given this some thought, but I decided that manual counting would be much 
more accurate than scanning.  A person can decide whether a group 
of convergent colonies is 2,3 or more colonies while a computer would 
probably score it as 1.  But for rough determinations it would probably 
do fine.  Besides the price is right (free!).
Sincerely,

Mike Moser                                             Tel: 206-543-5354
