Why should we learn how to write a Python program to do a task
we could easily perform with our own eyes?
There are at least two reasons to learn how to perform tasks like these
with Python and skimage:
with Python and scikit-image:

1. What if there are many more bacteria colonies in the Petri dish?
For example, suppose the image looked like this:

![](fig/colonies-03.jpg){alt='Bacteria colony'}

Manually counting the colonies in that image would present more of a challenge.
A Python program using skimage could count the number of colonies more accurately,
A Python program using scikit-image could count the number of colonies more accurately,
and much more quickly, than a human could.

2. What if you have hundreds, or thousands, of images to consider?
Imagine having to manually count colonies on several thousand images
like those above.
A Python program using skimage could move through all of the images in seconds;
A Python program using scikit-image could move through all of the images in seconds;
how long would a graduate student require to do the task?
Which process would be more accurate and repeatable?
