A biological scanner (10) provides automated selection of image processing profiles (36) to scan different types of biological growth plates. The scanner automatically identifies the type of plate to be scanned by the scanner, and then selects one of the image processing profiles appropriate for the identified plate type. For example, the image processing profiles may apply different color, shape, size and proximity criteria in counting different types of bacterial colonies. The scanner may identify the plate type by reference to a variety of machine-readable indicators (28), such as optically or magnetically readable marks, carried on the plate. Accordingly, biological growth plates carrying particular indicators that permit plate type identification are also contemplated. The plates may be scanned in order to read or count different types of bacterial colonies, or the amount of a particular biological agent on the biological growth plate.

L'invention a trait à un dispositif de balayage biologique (10), qui procède à la sélection automatisée de profils de traitement d'images (36) pour analyser par balayage divers types de plaques de culture biologique (22). Le dispositif de balayage identifie automatiquement le type de plaque qu'il doit balayer, puis sélectionne le profil de traitement d'images approprié pour le type de plaque identifié. Par exemple, les profils de traitement d'images peuvent appliquer différents critères de couleur, de forme, de taille et de proximité, lors du comptage de divers types de colonies bactériennes. Le dispositif de balayage peut identifier le type de plaque en fonction d'une pluralité d'indicateurs (28) lisibles par machine, tels que des marques à lecture optique ou magnétique contenues sur la plaque. L'invention concerne donc aussi des plaques de culture biologique comportant des indicateurs particuliers qui permettent l'identification du type de plaque. Les plaques peuvent être balayées afin que soient lus ou comptés divers types de colonies bactériennes, ou que soit déterminée la quantité d'un agent biologique particulier présent sur la plaque de culture biologique.
