Device for obtaining images of bacterial culture in a culture dish

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for obtaining an efficient image of bacterial culture. An apparatus of the present invention includes a culture dish support member 1 that supports a culture dish, and a light source that is annularly disposed around the support member 1 so that the light does not directly strike the support member 1. 2, a reflective surface 3 that faces the light source 2 and reflects light in the direction of the support member 1, and an image capture device 4 that captures an image of the culture dish placed above the support member 1. . The reflective surface 3 and the non-reflective surface 5 form a contrast observation chamber 6. The light source 2 and the image capturing device 4 can be incorporated into the contrast observation chamber 6, and the non-reflective surface 5 is annularly arranged around the image capturing device 4 and is superimposed above the support member 1. The surface finish of the non-reflective surface 5 facing away from 1 has an albedo of less than 0.4. [Selection] Figure 1
