I collected biological slid containing fungi spore. To scan these slid I require two days for one slide. Is there any software which can scan digital photo of biological slid and it will count spores in the slide within minute
Hi, do you have downstream applications - or do you just need the counts? In case yiu do not need the slids afterwards: I would stain the spores to enhance the contrast (Lacto-glycerine cotton blue), take microscopic photos or a simple scan (depending on objects size) and than try Fiji (ImageJ), using thresholding and automatic counting (depending on quantity). It is useless, if the spores lie too close to each other and do not seperate in the picture. In some cases you need expensive software or a lot of patience -
