Multispectral Infrared Colony Phenotyping for High‐Throughput Microbiological Control of Waters
Microbiological water quality monitoring still relies on slow, culture‐based methods with limited specificity. We present an automated, label‐free DFIR multispectral imaging prototype that captures both spectral and morphological fingerprints of microbial colonies directly on filtration membranes.
