摘要： Reader and plate methods, operations, and systems for imaging/counting biological development on plates are shown and described. One embodiment includes calibrating a plate reader. Calibration may be triggered by detecting a quality control event or the like. The calibration process may include receiving a low and/or high calibrator, counting objects on the calibrator(s), and comparing objects on the calibrator(s) to a predetermined limit. The result is an improved plate reader for observing biological growth, when present, on a growth plate.
