A bactometer is an instrument used to measure the growth of bacteria in a liquid culture. It typically works by assessing the turbidity or optical density of the culture, which increases as bacteria multiply. The device often uses a light source and a photodetector to measure the amount of light transmitted through the sample; as bacterial concentration increases, less light passes through. This measurement can be correlated to the number of viable bacteria, allowing for real-time monitoring of bacterial growth.
