N2 - A microscope/machine-vision system was developed and used as an on-line sensor for Bacillus thuringiensis and other fermentations. The apparatus included an automated sampler/diluter, a microscope/imaging system, an image processing system, and a controller. The system performed real-time image analysis of cell counts, contaminant and solid substrate detection, quantification of inclusion bodies, and spore and crystal protein counts. Using a neural-based classifier, the system has classified vegetative cells and spores with over 90% accuracy.
