Résumé

We develop a suitable geometrical-optics approach and demonstrate that it is possible to measure the optical density (OD) of bacterial cultures using a light emitting diode (LED)-based photometer. We measure both attenuation and spot-size variation, and we compensate for diffraction and stray-light impairment related to the incoherent source and large detection area. The approach is validated for different concentrations of two bacterial species,
