Abstract
An improved method and system of monitoring and identifying microbiota swimming in a fluid or moving across surfaces in a fluid provides a sensitive method for rapidly measuring very small changes in activity, and detecting and identifying individual microbes in relatively large volumes of fluid, even in the presence of detritus. The system comprises a laser station, a sample collector station, a picture taking station and a monitoring station.
