Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water quality detection, and in particular to an algae counting system and method. Background Art
[0002] The presence of a large amount of algae causes damage to the water environment and directly affects the production and supply of tap water based on surface water. In order to evaluate the water environment and understand the impact of algae on various process links of water plants, the environmental protection and water supply industries need to frequently carry out algae counting and testing projects.
[0003] The existing mainstream algae counting methods mainly refer to the 20th edition of the "Standard Test Methods for Water and Wastewater" (USA), which is suitable for counting planktonic algae in water bodies. The main operating steps are: collect 1 liter of water sample, add 10mL of Lugol's solution, and let it settle in a glass measuring cylinder in the dark for 48 hours. After 48 hours, use the siphon principle to absorb the supernatant, transfer the sedimentation concentrate to a 50mL brown volumetric flask, and quantify it with pure water. If the count is not performed in time, the concentrate can be stored in the dark. Before counting, turn the volumetric flask upside down 50 times to mix the concentrate evenly. When counting, use a micropipette to draw 0.1mL of concentrate into the counting frame, and use an optical microscope to count at a magnification of 10×40.
[0004] The traditional algae counting method has the problems of large human influence factors and small counting sample size. The settled algae are easily stirred up during siphoning, and the concentrate is easily left on the wall of the measuring cylinder during transfer. The whole operation process has large errors and too many human factors. The experimenter usually counts algae in 49 fields of view, and the counting number is small, which will also have large errors. Summary of the invention

The system selects a suitable homogenizing device according to the effective volume data of the concentrate and the pre-acquired algae cell species information data, and determines the configuration parameters of the homogenizing device. The system optimizes the stirring parameters, the shaking mixing parameters and the high-pressure homogenization parameters, and obtains the optimal stirring process parameters, the optimal shaking mixing parameters and the optimal high-pressure homogenization parameters respectively. During the homogenization process, the system collects the homogenization process data in real time, and performs dynamic particle size monitoring on the concentrate to obtain dynamic particle size distribution data. The system evaluates the degree of homogenization based on the dynamic particle size distribution data to obtain the homogenization evaluation parameters. Finally, the system determines whether the preset homogenization target is achieved based on the homogenization process parameters, the energy consumption model, the homogenization evaluation parameters and the preset homogenization target, and records the homogenization endpoint state parameters. Finally, the system uses a multi-objective optimization algorithm to determine the optimal homogenization condition data.

[0106] Step S14: acquiring dyeing process data; performing dyeing liquid optical analysis on the dyeing process data and performing dyeing kinetic modeling to obtain a dyeing kinetic model; performing dyeing rate and equilibrium analysis according to the dyeing kinetic model to obtain a dyeing rate constant and a dyeing equilibrium constant;
[0107] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the dyeing process, the system monitors the optical properties of the dyeing solution in real time, such as absorbance and fluorescence intensity, and records these data as dyeing process data. Then, the system analyzes the dyeing process data and establishes a dyeing kinetic model, such as a curve of absorbance or fluorescence intensity over time. Based on the model, the dyeing rate constant and the dyeing equilibrium constant are calculated.

If the dyeing progress value is less than the preset dyeing endpoint threshold, return to step S13; if the dyeing progress value is greater than or equal to the preset dyeing endpoint threshold, generate a dyeing stable state flag and execute step S16;
[0109] In the embodiment of the present invention, the system calculates the dyeing progress value in real time according to the established dyeing kinetic model. If the dyeing progress value is less than the preset dyeing endpoint threshold (e.g., 95%), the system returns to step S13 to continue adding dye and monitoring the dyeing process.

[0110] Step S16: Optimizing the stabilization time parameters based on the dyeing start time data, the dyeing rate constant, and the dyeing equilibrium constant to obtain the optimal dyeing stabilization time parameters;
[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the recorded dyeing start time data, the dyeing rate constant calculated in step S14, and the dyeing equilibrium constant, the system optimizes the stabilization time parameters through an algorithm, for example, calculating the time required to continue waiting after the dyeing reaches an equilibrium state in order to ensure dyeing stability, and finally obtaining the optimal dyeing stabilization time parameters.

[0116] Step S144: performing dyeing rate analysis according to the dyeing kinetics model to obtain a dyeing rate constant; performing dyeing equilibrium analysis according to the dyeing kinetics model to obtain a dyeing equilibrium constant.
[0117] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the dyeing process, at regular intervals (e.g., 30 seconds), a micro-fiber spectrometer is used to perform spectral scanning on the dyeing solution in the intelligent dyeing container, and the absorbance value of the dyeing solution at different wavelengths is obtained, and the change data of the absorbance value over time is recorded, and finally the absorbance-time curve data is obtained. During the dyeing process, at regular intervals (e.g., 30 seconds), a fluorescence spectrometer is used to excite the dyeing solution in the intelligent dyeing container, and the change data of the excited fluorescence intensity value over time is recorded, and finally the fluorescence intensity-time curve data is obtained. Absorbance-time curve data and fluorescence intensity-time curve data are respectively subjected to mathematical curve fitting, such as fitting using exponential function, polynomial function or other suitable curve models, and finally a function expression that can describe the law of absorbance or fluorescence intensity changing over time is obtained, i.e., dyeing kinetic model. According to the dyeing kinetic model, the rate of change of absorbance or fluorescence intensity in the initial stage of dyeing is analyzed, such as calculating the slope of the initial stage of the curve, and obtaining the dyeing rate constant. At the same time, the value that absorbance or fluorescence intensity tends to be stable in the later stage of dyeing is analyzed to obtain the dyeing equilibrium constant.
[0118] Preferably, step S2 comprises the following steps:
[0119] Step S21: transferring the dye solution through the intelligent pipeline module and the reverse osmosis concentration device to obtain transfer volume data; selecting the membrane component according to the water sample metadata and the optimal dye stabilization time parameter to obtain the membrane component configuration parameters;

[0123] Step S25: judging the concentration end point according to the volume of the algae concentrate and the concentration multiple curve, and obtaining the concentration end point state parameter.
[0124] In an embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent pipeline module transfers the dyeing liquid in the intelligent dyeing container to the reverse osmosis concentration device, and records the transferred dyeing liquid volume as the transfer volume data. The system selects a suitable reverse osmosis membrane assembly according to the water sample metadata (such as water sample type, algae concentration, etc.) and the optimal dyeing stabilization time parameters, and determines the configuration parameters of the membrane assembly, such as membrane area, membrane pore size, etc. The system performs pressure initialization on the reverse osmosis concentration device, sets the initial working pressure and records the pressure value as the initial pressure data. Based on the initial pressure data, the transfer volume data and the membrane assembly configuration parameters, the system estimates the amount of water filtered out during the concentration process and uses it as the filtered water volume parameter. During the concentration process, the system monitors the operating status of the concentration device in real time, such as pressure changes, flow changes, turbidity of the permeate, etc., and records these data as dynamic data of the concentration process. According to the filtered water volume parameters and the dynamic data of the concentration process, for example, the concentration multiple is calculated based on the permeate volume, the system calculates the algae cell concentration multiple in real time, and draws a concentration multiple curve. During the outflow of the permeate, the weighing sensor monitors the weight of the permeate in real time, cooperates with the micro pump to recover, and calculates the volume of the permeate, thereby obtaining the permeate recovery efficiency data. Based on the recorded filtered water volume parameters and the calculated permeate recovery volume, the system calculates the permeate recovery efficiency data. Then, based on the filtered water volume parameters and the permeate recovery efficiency data, the system calculates the actual volume of liquid involved in algae concentration, that is, the volume of algae concentrate. The system determines whether the preset concentration target, such as the preset concentration multiple or algae concentration, is reached based on the calculated algae concentrate volume and the real-time updated concentration multiple curve. If the preset target is reached, the concentration process is considered to be over, and the concentration state parameters at this time, such as concentration time, final concentration multiple, etc., are recorded.
[0125] The steps for configuring the parameters of the membrane module are as follows:
[0126] 1. Preliminary selection: Based on the water sample metadata and concentration target, the type, material and pore size range of the membrane component are preliminarily selected. You can refer to relevant literature, the information of the membrane component supplier or conduct a small-scale experiment for preliminary screening.
[0127] 2. Calculate membrane area: Calculate the required membrane area based on the target concentration multiple, water sample volume, acceptable concentration time and membrane flux of the initially selected membrane assembly.
[0128] 3. Optimize parameters: Considering factors such as equipment cost, concentration efficiency, membrane pollution risk, etc., optimize parameters such as membrane area and membrane pore size, for example:
[0129] If the equipment cost is limited, the membrane area can be appropriately reduced and the concentration time can be extended.
[0130] If the concentration rate requirement is higher, a membrane module with a larger membrane area can be selected.
[0131] If the water sample has high turbidity, you can choose a membrane component with a larger pore size or add a pretreatment step.
[0132] 4. Experimental verification: Finally, experimental verification is needed to determine the final membrane component configuration parameters and fine-tune the parameters based on the experimental results to achieve the best concentration effect.
[0133] Preferably, step S3 comprises the following steps:
[0134] Step S31: configuring the cleaning liquid according to the concentration end state parameter and the volume of the algae concentrate to obtain cleaning liquid formula data; setting the cleaning pressure according to the cleaning liquid formula data to obtain the cleaning pressure parameter;
[0135] Step S32: performing multi-stage cleaning control processing on the inner wall of the reverse osmosis membrane through the reverse osmosis membrane according to the cleaning pressure parameter to obtain multi-stage cleaning process data; performing cleaning liquid circulation processing on the multi-stage cleaning process data to obtain cleaning liquid circulation dynamic parameters;

[0137] Step S34: determining the cleaning endpoint according to the cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve and the membrane flux recovery data, and obtaining the cleaning endpoint state parameters;
[0138] Step S35: Calculate the efficiency parameters based on the multi-stage cleaning process data, the cleaning liquid circulation dynamic parameters, the cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve and the cleaning endpoint state parameters to obtain the cleaning recovery efficiency parameters.
[0139] As an example of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in this example, step S3 includes:
[0140] Step S31: configuring the cleaning liquid according to the concentration end state parameter and the volume of the algae concentrate to obtain cleaning liquid formula data; setting the cleaning pressure according to the cleaning liquid formula data to obtain the cleaning pressure parameter;
[0141] In the embodiment of the present invention, according to the concentration end state parameters (such as the final concentration multiple) and the volume of the algae concentrate, the system automatically selects a suitable cleaning solution formula, such as the composition and concentration of the cleaning solution, and records it as cleaning solution formula data. Then, according to the cleaning solution formula data and the characteristics of the reverse osmosis membrane, the system automatically sets the cleaning pressure and records it as the cleaning pressure parameter.
[0142] Among them, the relationship between the concentration endpoint state parameters, the volume of the algae concentrate and the cleaning solution formula: the concentration endpoint state parameters (such as the final concentration multiple) reflect the concentration degree of the algae sample. The higher the concentration multiple, the greater the algae cell density and the more algae residues attached to the reverse osmosis membrane. The volume of the algae concentrate reflects the total amount of the algae sample. The larger the volume, the larger the membrane area that needs to be cleaned, and the difficulty of cleaning may also increase. Therefore, the concentration multiple and the volume of the concentrate will affect the selection of the cleaning solution. Generally speaking, when the concentration multiple is high and the volume is large, it is necessary to select a cleaning solution formula with a higher concentration and stronger cleaning ability. When the concentration multiple is low and the volume is small, select a cleaning solution formula with a lower concentration and milder cleaning ability. The system automatically matches the concentration endpoint state parameters and the volume of the algae concentrate with the optimal cleaning solution composition and concentration according to preset rules or empirical data, thereby obtaining the cleaning solution formula data.
[0143] The relationship between cleaning fluid formula data, reverse osmosis membrane characteristics and cleaning pressure: The cleaning fluid formula data includes the composition and concentration of the cleaning fluid. Cleaning fluids with different formulas have different physical and chemical properties such as viscosity and permeability, and need to match different cleaning pressures. High-concentration, high-viscosity cleaning fluids require higher cleaning pressures to overcome liquid resistance and improve cleaning efficiency. Low-concentration, low-viscosity cleaning fluids only require lower cleaning pressures to effectively penetrate and flush the reverse osmosis membrane. For reverse osmosis membranes with high density and small pore size, higher cleaning pressures are required to overcome membrane resistance and allow the cleaning fluid to penetrate effectively. For reverse osmosis membranes with high porosity and large pore size, the cleaning pressure can be relatively low.
[0144] Step S32: performing multi-stage cleaning control processing on the inner wall of the reverse osmosis membrane through the reverse osmosis membrane according to the cleaning pressure parameter to obtain multi-stage cleaning process data; performing cleaning liquid circulation processing on the multi-stage cleaning process data to obtain cleaning liquid circulation dynamic parameters;
[0145] In the embodiment of the present invention, the system controls the reverse osmosis membrane to perform multi-stage cleaning according to the set cleaning pressure parameters, for example, using a low-concentration cleaning solution for preliminary flushing and then using a high-concentration cleaning solution for deep cleaning. During the cleaning process, the system records data such as cleaning time, cleaning pressure, and cleaning solution flow rate as multi-stage cleaning process data. At the same time, the system circulates the cleaning solution and records parameters such as the number of cycles and the circulation flow rate as dynamic parameters of the cleaning solution circulation.
[0146] Step S33: recovering the cleaning liquid according to the multi-stage cleaning process data and the dynamic parameters of the cleaning liquid circulation to obtain a cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve; obtaining cleaning liquid recovery process data; monitoring the membrane flux of the cleaning liquid recovery process data to obtain membrane flux recovery data;
[0147] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the cleaning liquid recovery process, the system monitors the turbidity of the cleaning liquid in real time and draws a cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve. At the same time, the system records the cleaning liquid recovery time, recovery flow rate and other data as the cleaning liquid recovery process data. In addition, the system also monitors the membrane flux of the reverse osmosis membrane, for example, measuring the volume of liquid passing through the membrane per unit time, and records the monitoring results as membrane flux recovery data.
[0148] Step S34: determining the cleaning endpoint according to the cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve and the membrane flux recovery data, and obtaining the cleaning endpoint state parameters;
[0149] In the embodiment of the present invention, the system determines whether the cleaning reaches the preset endpoint condition based on the cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve and the membrane flux recovery data, such as the cleaning liquid turbidity drops below the preset value, or the membrane flux recovers to above the preset ratio. If the preset conditions are met, the cleaning is determined to be completed, and the cleaning time, cleaning liquid consumption and other data are recorded as cleaning endpoint state parameters.
[0150] Step S35: Calculate the efficiency parameters based on the multi-stage cleaning process data, the cleaning liquid circulation dynamic parameters, the cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve and the cleaning endpoint state parameters to obtain the cleaning recovery efficiency parameters;
[0151] In an embodiment of the present invention, the system calculates cleaning efficiency parameters, such as cleaning liquid utilization rate, membrane flux recovery rate, etc., based on the recorded multi-stage cleaning process data, cleaning liquid circulation dynamic parameters, cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve, and cleaning endpoint state parameters, which are used to evaluate the cleaning effect and optimize the cleaning strategy.
[0152] Among them, the cleaning efficiency parameters include cleaning fluid utilization rate, membrane flux recovery rate and cleaning time efficiency. The cleaning efficiency parameters are calculated as follows:
[0153] Calculation of cleaning liquid utilization rate: cleaning liquid utilization rate = (total cleaning liquid volume - cleaning liquid waste volume) / total cleaning liquid volume × 100%, where the total cleaning liquid volume can be obtained from the multi-stage cleaning process data, and the cleaning liquid waste volume can be estimated based on the cleaning liquid circulation dynamic parameters and the cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve. Specifically, the cleaning liquid volume of each cycle can be calculated based on the cleaning liquid circulation dynamic parameters, and the cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve is combined to determine the cleaning liquid turbidity of each cycle. When the turbidity exceeds the preset threshold, the cleaning liquid volume of the cycle can be recorded as the waste liquid volume.
[0154] Calculation of membrane flux recovery rate: Membrane flux recovery rate = (membrane flux after cleaning / initial membrane flux) × 100%, where the initial membrane flux can be obtained from the multi-stage cleaning process data, that is, the membrane flux measurement value before cleaning; the membrane flux after cleaning can be obtained based on the cleaning endpoint state parameters, that is, the membrane flux measurement value at the end of cleaning.
[0155] Calculation of cleaning time efficiency: Cleaning time efficiency = theoretical minimum cleaning time / actual cleaning time × 100%, where the actual cleaning time can be obtained from the cleaning endpoint state parameters; the theoretical shortest cleaning time can be estimated based on the multi-stage cleaning process data and the cleaning liquid recovery turbidity curve, that is, based on the cleaning time of each stage and the corresponding turbidity reduction rate, the shortest time required to reach the cleaning endpoint turbidity can be calculated.
[0156] Preferably, step S4 comprises the following steps:

[0163] In an embodiment of the present invention, the system evaluates the cleaning effect according to the cleaning recovery efficiency parameter, and after confirming that the cleaning is sufficient, the concentrated liquid water sample flows into the concentrated liquid tank and performs volume measurement, that is, directly measures its volume through the sensor and records it as the effective volume data of the concentrated liquid. The system obtains the algae cell type information data contained in the water sample, for example, by pre-input or other detection means. Then, the system selects a suitable homogenizing device, such as a magnetic stirrer, a shaker or a high-pressure homogenizer, according to the effective volume data of the concentrated liquid and the algae cell type information data, and determines the configuration parameters of the homogenizing device, such as the stirring speed, shaking frequency or homogenizing pressure. Finally, the system optimizes the stirring parameters according to the selected homogenizing device and configuration parameters, for example, by determining the optimal stirring speed and time through simulation or experiment, and obtaining the optimal stirring process parameters. According to the optimal stirring process parameters, the system controls the homogenizing device to shake and mix the concentrated liquid, and fine-tunes the shaking and mixing parameters according to the actual operating conditions, such as the viscosity and homogenization degree of the concentrated liquid, such as adjusting the amplitude and frequency of the shaking table, and finally obtains the optimal shaking and mixing parameters. If high-pressure homogenization is required, the system determines the optimal high-pressure homogenization parameters, such as homogenization pressure, number of cycles and time, based on the optimal stirring process parameters and the optimal shaking and mixing parameters, as well as the characteristics of the concentrate, such as cell wall thickness and toughness. During the homogenization process, the system collects homogenization process data in real time, such as stirring speed, temperature, pressure, etc. At the same time, the system performs dynamic particle size monitoring on the concentrate, such as using a laser particle size analyzer to measure the particle size distribution of algae cells to obtain dynamic particle size distribution data. Based on the dynamic particle size distribution data, the system evaluates the degree of homogenization, such as calculating the coefficient of variation or other indicators to obtain homogenization evaluation parameters. The system calculates the energy consumption of the homogenization process based on the recorded optimal stirring process parameters, optimal shaking and mixing parameters and optimal high-pressure homogenization parameters, as well as the energy consumption model of the equipment, and obtains energy consumption optimization data. Then, the system determines whether the preset homogenization target is achieved based on the homogenization evaluation parameters and energy consumption optimization data, such as whether the homogenization reaches the preset value or the energy consumption reaches the preset limit, and finally obtains the homogenization end state parameters. Based on the recorded optimal stirring process parameters, optimal shaking and mixing parameters, optimal high-pressure homogenization parameters, homogeneity evaluation parameters, energy consumption optimization data and homogenization endpoint state parameters, the system uses multi-objective optimization algorithms, such as genetic algorithms or particle swarm algorithms, to reduce energy consumption while ensuring the homogenization effect, and ultimately determines the optimal homogenization condition data, such as optimal stirring speed, time, shaking frequency, homogenization pressure and number of cycles.

[0172] In an embodiment of the present invention, the system controls the automated equipment to extract a certain volume of homogenized water sample from the concentrate tank and inject it into the sample pool according to the optimal homogenization conditions determined in step S46. Then, the system controls the sample slide preparation device, such as an automatic dripping device and a drying device, to make the water sample in the sample pool into a sample slide, and records the preparation parameters of the sample slide, such as the water sample volume, drying time, etc. According to the sample slide preparation parameters, such as the water sample thickness, the cover glass type, etc., the system controls the microscope to perform intelligent focus optimization, such as automatically adjusting the focal plane and the objective lens magnification, finding the optimal imaging focal plane, and recording the relevant data of the intelligent focus optimization, such as the focal plane position, the objective lens magnification, etc. Then, the system controls the microscope to perform multispectral imaging at the optimal focal plane, such as using light sources of different wavelengths to illuminate the sample, and collect multi-channel image data to obtain a multispectral image data set containing rich spectral information. According to the intelligent focus optimization data, the system selects the optimal objective lens magnification and exposure time and other parameters, performs high-resolution image acquisition on each channel in the multispectral image data set, and obtains a high-resolution algae cell image library containing multiple channels. The system performs image preprocessing optimization on the collected high-resolution algae cell image library, such as image noise reduction, contrast enhancement, and correction of uneven illumination, to obtain an optimized preprocessed image set. Then, the system classifies the images based on the features in the optimized preprocessed image set, such as color, texture, shape, etc., using image classification algorithms, such as support vector machines, random forests, or deep learning algorithms, to segment the algae cells from the background and obtain algae cell image classification mask data.

Based on the algae cell morphological feature vectors and three-dimensional morphological parameters of algae cells, the system uses single-cell tracking algorithms, such as the nearest neighbor algorithm or the Hungarian algorithm, to identify and associate the same algae cell in images at different time points or different focal planes, and obtain single-cell trajectory data, such as the position information of each algae cell at different time points or different focal planes. Based on the algae cell morphological feature vectors, three-dimensional morphological parameters of algae cells, and single-cell trajectory data, the system extracts more comprehensive single-cell algae morphological feature parameters, such as the movement speed, movement trajectory, morphological changes, etc. of algae cells, for subsequent algae identification, classification, and analysis.

[0182] In an embodiment of the present invention, the system uses the pre-collected morphological characteristic parameter data of different types of algae, such as cell size, shape, texture, etc., to construct an algae feature library. Each algae species corresponds to a set of characteristic parameters and is stored as algae feature library data. The system uses the constructed algae feature library data to train an intelligent recognition model, such as a support vector machine, a random forest or a deep learning model, to map the morphological characteristic parameters of the algae to the corresponding algae species, and obtain algae recognition model parameters. In order to improve the recognition accuracy and generalization ability, the system uses a variety of classifiers, such as a support vector machine, a random forest and a deep learning model, to perform multi-classifier integration optimization, and obtain an optimized multi-classifier integration model. The system inputs the morphological characteristic parameters of the unicellular algae extracted in step S57 into the optimized multi-classifier integration model trained in step S62, performs automatic identification and classification of algae, determines the algae species to which each algae cell belongs, and obtains the algae cell genus and species classification data. According to the algae cell genus and species classification data, the system counts the number of cells of each algae species and obtains the distribution data of the number of algae cells of different genera and species. At the same time, the system estimates the size of each algae cell according to the morphological characteristic parameters of the single-cell algae, such as cell length, width and volume, and obtains the algae cell size estimation data. According to the relationship between the morphological characteristics and biomass of different algae species, the system uses the algae cell size estimation data and the algae cell number distribution data of different genera and species to establish an algae biomass conversion model, such as a linear model, an exponential model or other nonlinear model, for converting the number of algae cells into biomass. Then, according to the established algae biomass conversion model, the system calculates the biomass conversion factor of each algae species, such as the biomass corresponding to the number of cells per unit. The system calculates the total biomass of each algae species using the algae cell number distribution data of different genera and species, the algae cell size estimation data and the algae biomass conversion factor calculated in step S65, and obtains the algae biomass composition data. According to the algae cell number distribution data of different genera and species and the original volume data of the sample, the system calculates the cell density of each algae species, such as the number of cells of a certain algae species per milliliter of water sample, and obtains the algae cell density data. The system integrates the data on the classification of algal cell genus and species, the distribution data on the number of algal cells of different genera and species, the data on the composition of algal biomass and the data on the density of algal cells, conducts a comprehensive data analysis, and generates a comprehensive analysis report on the density and biomass of algal cells, such as displaying information such as the number of cells, biomass and density of different algal species in the form of tables or charts.
[0183] Preferably, in step S67, the algae cell density data is obtained by a calculation formula for algae cell density calculation, wherein the calculation formula for algae cell density calculation is specifically:
[0184]
[0185] Where N is the number of algae per liter of water sample, A is the area of the sample pool, and Ac V is the photo counting area, s V is the volume of the water sample after concentration and fixation, a is the volume of the sample pool, n is the number of algae counted, and L is the volume of the original water sample.
[0186] The present invention constructs a calculation formula for calculating algae cell density, wherein N is the final result, which is used to evaluate the density of algae in water. is the ratio of the sample pool area to the photographed counting area. A represents the area of the entire sample pool. c Represents the area actually photographed and counted under the microscope. The ratio of this part is used to "scale" the number of algae in the counting area to the number of algae in the entire sample pool. V is the ratio of the volume of the concentrated water sample to the volume of the sample pool. s Represents the final volume of the water sample after concentration, V a Represents the volume of water sample added to the sample pool. This ratio is used to "convert" the amount of algae in the sample pool to the amount of algae in the concentrated water sample. It is the ratio of the number of algae counted to the volume of the original water sample. n represents the number of algae actually counted under the microscope, and L represents the volume of the original water sample initially collected. This ratio is used to "convert" the number of algae in the concentrated water sample to the number of algae in the original water sample. This formula uses three proportional factors to gradually expand the algae counting results in a limited area under the microscope to the entire sample pool, and then to the concentrated water sample, and finally accurately reflects the density of algae in the original water sample. Each part is indispensable and together ensures the accuracy and reliability of the final result.
