澳大利亚科学家已发展一种能快速检测游泳池或供水设备中隐担孢子和鞭毛虫等微生物爆发的激光测量法。这种技术只要一夜便能得到测量结果，而不像较典型测量法那样要等７天时间。监测水和食物的微生物病菌一般要在实验室隔离和生长传染媒体，但有些传染媒体很难或甚至不能生长? Australian scientists have developed a laser that quickly detects bursts of microorganisms such as spores and flagellates in swimming pools or water utilities. This technique allows measurements to be obtained in just a single night, rather than waiting seven days for a typical measurement. Microbial germs that monitor water and food generally isolate and grow infectious vectors in the laboratory, but are some vectors difficult or even impossible to grow?
