Abstract
An apparatus for discriminating bacteria types using optical scattering patterns is disclosed. The apparatus includes an optical fiber for transferring light emitted from a light source, a lens for controlling a width of the light received from the optical fiber, a linear polarizer for transmitting the light passing through the lens and a bacterial colony, and a capturing unit for capturing an optical scattering pattern of the light transmitted through the linear polarizer.
