The present invention comprises an apparatus for counting a plurality of objects, wherein the objects are aligned such that the objects form a linear array oriented in an X-Y plane, comprising a sensor for detecting a discriminating characteristic of an object, and for locating the orientation of the linear array formed by the objects, a sensor moving means for moving the sensor in an X-Y plane, and a processor for determining the orientation of the linear array formed by the objects, wherein the sensor scans the orientation of the linear array formed by the objects when counting the objects.
