title: [Computerized optical image analysis as a tool for microbiological studies (review)].
abstract: Computerized optical image analysis is a variant of using computerized analysis of images of study objects recorded by optical methods. This review covers the literature and our own data on computer analysis of optical images of microbial origin. It is concluded that the use of this type of analysis in microbiology makes it possible to accelerate, objectify, and automate many conventional microbiological methods, as well as opens up new possibilities for studying single cells.
