Figure 3. Comparation of time and accuracy between manual and
automatic counting.
(A) The averaged evaluation times of both manual and automatized
analysis (“yeast counter”) of the same sample. Student’s t-test
(two-tailed), p<0.0001. (B) The colony-forming units of the
last spot in spotting test for both manual and automatic counting, and
the comparation between experimental and theoretical value. The manual
(left column) count is quite different from what is expected (right
column), while automatic counting (middle column) is closer to the
theoretical value. Continuous lines indicate statistically significant
differences, asterisks indicate the according p-value
(p<0.001; p<0.1; Student’s t-test (two-tailed).
