After incubating the plate under appropriate conditions for the microorganism, the colonies are counted. For the spread, pour, or drop methods, the colony counting is self-explanatory: count each colony dot once. A marker can be used pointing each counted colony on the back of the Petri dish.
The colony counting problem can be easily solved by using the "CountThings By Camera" mobile app. You only need to take a photo, click to identify, and the whole process can be automatically completed, and the accuracy can also be adjusted.
You can download it at google play named "CountThings By Camera"
