Taking images of plaques

| posted 30 Mar, 2022 18:33
What do people recommend for taking good images of plaques on petri dishes? We usually get by with cell phone images taken by holding the plates up to the light, but I would like a more uniform and professional method. Our department may be replacing our agarose gel documentation system soon and I'm wondering if anyone has a documentation system that works well for both gels and photos of plaques. Thanks!

Hi Pam,
In some of our older protocols at Pitt we have some plaque picture taking protocols found here:

We use a gel doc to photograph plates.
