CA 2661285

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for detecting living phytoplankton cells and/or microorganisms in or out of water, particularly ballast water, bodies of water, sewage, or water in swimming and bathing devices. Said method is characterized by the following steps: - the variable fluorescence (Fv) is calculated by forming the difference between the maximum fluorescence (Fm) and the minimum fluorescence (Fo) in a measuring space or detecting part or all of the dynamic shape of a fluorescence induction curve in a measuring space, particularly measuring; and - calculating the number of living phytoplankton cells and/or microorganisms of a reference species in the measuring space in accordance with the variable fluorescence (Fv).

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de détection de cellules de phytoplancton vivantes et/ou de micro-organismes dans l'eau, en particulier dans des eaux de ballast, des eaux stagnantes ou des eaux courantes, des eaux usées, des eaux de piscines et de baignade, procédé caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les étapes suivantes : calcul de la fluorescence variable (Fv) par formation de la différence : fluorescence maximale (Fm) moins fluorescence minimale (Fo) dans un espace de mesure ou par détermination du tracé dynamique, partiel ou global, d'une courbe d'induction de la fluorescence dans un espace de mesure, en particulier mesure de la variation, en fonction du temps, de la courbe d'induction de fluorescence, et calcul du nombre de cellules de phytoplancton vivantes et/ou de micro-organismes d'un type de référence, dans l'espace de mesure, en fonction de la fluorescence variable (Fv).
