METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INVESTIGATING AND CONTROLLING AN OBJECT

In order to investigate an object, such as a culture of micro-organisms, the image of the object is repeatedly picked up at two different magnifications by a suitable image pick-up device (21, 22, 24). The images at the two different magnifications are then analysed by a suitable picture image recog...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In order to investigate an object, such as a culture of micro-organisms, the image of the object is repeatedly picked up at two different magnifications by a suitable image pick-up device (21, 22, 24). The images at the two different magnifications are then analysed by a suitable picture image recognition device (25, 31) and the results of the repeated analysis are compared, thereby to derive a measurement of the change in the object with time. Thus, for a culture of micro-organisms, the number of cells can be determined at one magnification and the number of microscopic spherical bodies can be determined at another magnification, to obtain a measure of the activity of the culture. Preferably, one or more conditions of the object are then controlled on the basis of the measurement of change.
