Agar Count’s Colony Counter
A browser tool that detects and counts colonies in photos of agar plates, then lets you correct the result by hand.
Field notes
The tool accepts a plate photo, places green rings around detected colonies, and exposes the result as separate automatic, added, and removed totals. Users can adjust sensitivity, resize markers, reset the plate, or manually count everything when detection finds nothing. A training option says corrected plates may be added to a dataset for future retraining, while the page explicitly recommends checking automated results against manual counts before relying on them.
