Use of the speckle imaging sub-pixel correlation analysis in revealing a mechanism of microbial colony growth

Abstract The microbial colony growth is driven by the activity of the cells located on the edges of the colony. However, this process is not visible unless specific staining or cross-sectioning of the colony is done. Speckle imaging technology is a non-invasive method that allows visualization of th...
