EQUIPMENT FOR IDENTIFYING BACTERIA

摘要

PURPOSE:An arbitrary filter is selected from filters on the rotatable body to measure the reflected light and transmitted light from the sample in various wave lengths and the measuring data is processed to make accurate and efficient identification of bacteria. CONSTITUTION:The equipment is composed of containers for the culture plates, the incident light source 31 for sending the light to each sample in the cell 44 of the culture plates 25 contained in the container, the light receiver 34 for converting the reflected or transmitted light from each sample into electric signals and the rotatable body 32 equipped with filters between the light source 31 or the sample and the light receiver 34. The rotatable body 32 is provided with a plurality of filters for extracting monochromatic light of various wave lengths 39 and the signal generator 42 for identifying the filter 39 and continuously rotates in one direction at a constant speed so that filters 39 are selected in order.
