A COMPARISON OF OCULAR MICROMETRIC AND PROJECTOSCOPIC METHODS OF ESTIMATING GROWTHS IN TISSUE CULTURES
The Journal of Experimental Medicine
|October 30, 2009
Abstract:
In estimating the increments of growth of tissue cultures and of comparative indices it is possible to use areas calculated from measurement of two axes made with an ocular micrometer in an ordinary microscope. On the assumption that the growths are approximately circular in outline the squares of their radii are used as the factors for comparison. Results obtained with this method agree fairly closely with those derived from projectoscopic drawings and planimetric measurements.

01:27Microbial Growth Measurement: Indirect Methods
Estimating microbial growth is essential for understanding population dynamics and environmental adaptations. Indirect methods provide valuable insights by measuring parameters such as turbidity, metabolic activity, and biomass, enabling efficient and reproducible assessments.During exponential growth, microbial cells scatter light proportionally to their biomass, a principle used in turbidity measurements. About one million cells per milliliter produce detectable scattering, which a...

Direct methods for measuring microbial populations in a culture are essential tools in microbiology, providing quantitative data for various applications. Among these, microscopic counts, plate counts, and serial dilution are widely used techniques, each with unique principles and applications.Microscopic CountsMicroscopic counting involves the use of a Petroff-Hausser chamber, a specialized microscope slide with a grid and defined depth. By observing a liquid culture under a microscope,...
