Lumen of light box changes in plaque assay?

30 August 2023 0 3K Report

Hi all,

Does lumen changes in a light box or transilluminator uesd for plaque assay would have great impact on enumeration? Or maybe there is a opportune range of lumen for these equippments when used for plaque assay counting?

Many thanks!
