Focus distance requirements #41

Closed grassick closed 12 years ago

grassick commented 12 years ago

The petrifilm center is only 5cm in diameter. If the camera is 2MP, the focus distance to pixels wide are as follows:

5cm = 1200 pixels 10cm = 600 pixels 15cm = 400 pixels 20cm = 300 pixels.

We need to check what the minimum number of pixels is for accurate colony counting and that the camera has a macro mode capable of doing such close focusing.
