Split Colonies
Manual Split Colonies
Users may split colonies by performing an initial count (Automated Count, Identify by Color Count, or
User Defined Template Count), and splitting colonies manually. Colonies should be split when two or
more colonies are very close together and are counted as one colony by the software.
• To split colonies manually, go to the Edit colonies menu button under the Colony Counting
Action Tab and click on Manually Split Colonies.
• A new window will ask the user to " Draw lines through the colonies you want to split then
release".
• Draw lines through two or more colonies that are close together and treated as one. Use the
pointer and, while holding the left mouse button down, move from one edge of the colony to the
other.
