• OptiCount is a user friendly software for the quantification of phytoplankton, zooplankton and bacterioplankton and
even blood cells, particles and other things that cannot be counted automatically.
• Organisms can be freely defined (genus and/or species names).
• Support for counting unicellular and colonial organisms.
• Individual cell volumes can be calculated from standard geometric objects or using fixed volumes. Volume biomass is
automatically converted into fresh weight biomass.
• Opticount automatically converts counts for commonly used counting procedures into cell concentrations. You may count
organisms in counting chambers or concentrated on filter surfaces using five different methods:
1. lanes through the center,
2. randomly selected rectangular fields,
3. randomly selected circular fields,
4. percent area, or
5. using a blood counting chamber.
• Just use a computer keyboard near to your microscope instead of a mechanic counting device.
• Count single cells and/or colonies.
• Species labels and actual counts are displayed.
