Nature Of Business Development Stage Company and Continuance Of Opreations [Text Block] |
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplated the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses and there is substantial doubt that the Company will generate sufficient revenues in the foreseeable future to meet its operating cash requirements. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to continue operations depends on its success in obtaining additional capital in an amount sufficient to meet its cash needs. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2010 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), a California corporation, is a holding company whose operations are conducted through its Nevada subsidiary, Micro Imaging Technology (“MIT”). As of July 31, 2011, the Company owns eighty point seven percent (80.7%) of the issued and outstanding stock of MIT. The losses incurred to date which are applicable to the minority stockholders of the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, MIT, exceed the value of the equity held by the minority stockholders. Such losses have been allocated to the Company as the majority stockholder and are included in the net loss and accumulated deficit in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended July 31, 2011. Any future profits reported by our subsidiary will be allocated to the Company until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by the Company have been recovered. In 1997, the Company began marketing a small, point-of-use water treatment product aimed at the high purity segment of commercial and industrial water treatment markets. In February 2000, the Company formed Electropure EDI, Inc. (EDI), a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, through which all manufacturing and sales of its proprietary water treatment products were then conducted. In October 2005, the Company sold the assets of the EDI subsidiary and discontinued operations. The Company acquired, in October 1997, an exclusive license to patent and intellectual property rights involving laser light scattering techniques to be utilized in the detection and monitoring of toxicants in drinking water. In February 2000, the Company formed Micro Imaging Technology (MIT), a majority-owned Nevada subsidiary, to conduct research and development based upon advancements developed and patented from the licensed technology. The technology being developed is a non-biologically based system utilizing both proprietary hardware and software to rapidly (near real time) determine the specific specie of an unknown microbe present in a fluid with a high degree of statistical probability (“MIT system”). It will analyze a sample presented to it and compare its characteristics to a library of known microbe characteristics on file. At present, it is the Company’s only operation. Effective with the sale of its EDI operation in October 2005, the Company’s planned principal operation, the further development and marketing of its remaining technology, has not produced any significant revenue and, as such, the Company, beginning with the fiscal year starting November 1, 2005, is considered a development stage
enterprise. |

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] |
The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has not experienced any material change in its critical accounting policies since November 1, 2010. The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, which are based upon historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company considers the following accounting policies to be most critical in their potential effect on its financial position or results of operations. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for a period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Potential common shares outstanding principally include convertible notes payable and stock options under our stock plan. Since the Company has incurred losses, the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive. Stock Based Compensation Stock-based compensation costs for stock options issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). No stock-based compensation was recognized during the nine months ended July 31, 2011. In May 1999, the Company adopted the Micro Imaging Technology, Inc. 1999 stock option plan (the “Plan”), for officers, directors, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company. The Plan provides two types of options: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Plan authorizes the granting of options up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price per share on options granted may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The exercise price per share of Incentive Stock Options granted to anyone who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of the Company’s common stock must be a minimum of one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value per share at the date of grant. The options exercise price may be paid in cash or its equivalent including cashless exercises as determined and approved by the plan administrator. The term of each Incentive Stock Option granted is fixed by the plan administrator and shall not exceed ten (10) years, except that for those who own ten percent (10%) of the voting power of the Company the term of the option may be no more than five (5) years. Non-qualified Stock Options may not be granted for more than ten (10) years. The vesting periods for both Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options are determined by the administrator at or after the date of grant. As of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, all of the options available for issuance under the Plan have been granted. In September 2007, the Company’s subsidiary adopted the Micro Imaging Technology 2007 Stock Option Plan authorizing the granting of options up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. This
plan is otherwise identical to the above 1999 stock option plan of its parent company in eligibility requirements, types of options and other terms and conditions. There have been no options granted under this plan to date. The Company adopted the Micro Imaging Technology 2008 Employee Benefit Plan (the “Benefit Plan”) effective December 3, 2007. Under the Benefit Plan, the Company can grant up to three (3) million shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Eligibility and terms of each grant is determined by the Board of Directors. Between September 2007 and March 2008, all three (3) million shares of common stock authorized under the Benefit Plan were issued to Michael Brennan (1,750,000 shares) and Victor Hollander (1,250,000 shares) for services rendered. In May 2008, the Company adopted the Micro Imaging Technology 2008 Employee Incentive Stock Plan (“Stock Plan”) effective May 2, 2008. Similar to the above-referenced Benefit Plan, the Stock Plan permits the Company to grant up to three (3) million shares of common stock or options or purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Between May 2008 and November 2009, 2,634,472 shares of common stock were issued under the Stock Plan to various individuals, including officers and directors, in exchange for cancellation of loans and interest as well as fees and expenses due to consultants and corporate counsel of the Company. The Company adopted the 2009 Employee Benefit Plan in October 2008. Under the Benefit Plan, the Company can grant up to four (4) million shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Eligibility and terms of each grant is determined by the Board of Directors. The Company granted 2,250,000 options under the Benefit Plan during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. In May 2009, the Company granted 500,000 shares, valued at $28,088, under the Benefit Plan to Michael Brennan. In November 2009, the Company issued 1,300,000 shares valued at $49,018 to legal firms rendering services to the Company for accrued fees. On January 7, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized the formation of the 2010 Employee Benefit Plan which is authorized to grant up to twelve (12) million shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Eligibility is determined by the Board of Directors. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, the Company issued all of the twelve (12) million shares of common stock under the Benefit Plan to consultants for services rendered in the aggregate sum of $523,000. On February 16, 2011 the Board of Directors authorized the formation of the 2011 Employee Benefit Plan which is authorized to grant up to Fifteen (15) million shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Eligibility is determined by the Board of Directors. During the nine month period ended July 31, 2011, the Company issued thirteen million five hundred thousand (13,500,000) shares of common stock under the Benefit Plan to consultants for services rendered in the aggregate sum of $99,000. The following table summarizes information about options granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans through July 31, 2011 and otherwise to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Generally, options vest on an annual pro rata basis over various periods of time and are exercisable, upon proper notice, in whole or in part at any time upon vesting. Typically, in the case of an employee, vested options terminate when an employee leaves the Company. The options granted have contractual lives ranging from three to ten years.
Summary information about the Company’s options outstanding at July 31, 2011 is set forth in the table below. Options outstanding at July 31, 2011 expire between August 2011 and January 2016.
As of July 31, 20111, all outstanding options had fully vested and there was no estimated unrecognized compensation from unvested stock options. The following table summarizes the information relating to warrants granted to non-employees as of October 31, 2010 and changes during the nine months ended July 31, 2011
Summary information about the Company’s warrants outstanding at July 31, 2011 is set forth in the table below. Warrants outstanding at July 31, 2011 expire between September 2011 and October 2012. New Accounting Pronouncements The following accounting standards updates were recently issued and have not yet been adopted by us. These standards are currently under review to determine their impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In April 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The update provides additional guidance to creditors on evaluating whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) and clarifies the existing guidance on whether (1) the creditor has granted a concession and (2) whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, which are the two criteria used to determine whether a modification or restructuring is a TDR. This guidance is effective for interim or annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The update removes from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. This guidance is effective prospectively for transactions, or modifications of existing transactions, that occur on or after the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRSs. The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. While many of the amendments to US GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, the new guidance changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which removes the option of presenting comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholder’s Equity. ASU 2011-05 provides entities with an option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income (OCI) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under either method, entities must display adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in both net income and OCI. This guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI or when an item of OCI must be reclassified to net income. This guidance, related only to disclosures, is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. |

Anthony M. Frank In December 2008, the Company authorized a private offering to sell up to $2,500,000 in convertible debentures. On March 16, 2009, the Company’s largest stockholder, Anthony M. Frank, purchased $75,000 of the convertible debentures. The debenture matures on March 16, 2012 and is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at a fair market value of eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price per share for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding conversion. The debentures are also redeemable by the Company: 1) if before three months at one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the principal value, plus interest; or 2) if after three months, at one hundred thirty one percent (131%) of principal, plus interest. During the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the Company expensed $5,610 in accrued interest on the above debenture. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature (which represents the twenty percent (20%) discount in the conversion price of the common stock) was determined to be $18,750 and is being amortized over the three-year life of the debenture. The Company expensed $4,675 of this cost during the nine months ended July 31, 2011. Asher Enterprises, Inc. On August 16, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of an eight percent (8%) convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000. The Note matured on May 18, 2011 and is convertible into common shares at a thirty nine percent (39%) discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. The Note provided that Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note. The Company received the proceeds of the Note on September 8, 2010, less a $3,000 reimbursement to Asher for fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The debentures carry a beneficial conversion feature allowing conversion at the option of the holder at any time after purchase into common stock at sixty one percent (61%) of the average of the lowest three closing bids during the ten trading days ending one trading day prior to the date the conversion notice is sent. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature as of the date of issuance of the debentures (using the same criteria as noted above) and fully amortized the $31,967 cost as of July 31, 2011 pursuant to the fact that between March 9 and April 25, 2011, Asher converted the full principal balance of the Note, plus $2,000 in accrued interest, into 20,480,039 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0018 to $0.0035 per share. On October 5, 2010, the Company entered into a second Securities Purchase Agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. in connection with the issuance of an eight percent (8%) convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $37,500. The Note matured on July 8, 2011 and was convertible into common shares at a thirty nine percent (39%) discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. The Note provided that Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note. The Company received the proceeds of the Note on October 12, 2010, less a $2,500 reimbursement to Asher for fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The value of the conversion feature, $23,975, was fully amortized as of July 31, 2011 pursuant to the fact that between May 19 and July 11, 2011, Asher converted the full principal balance of the Note, plus $1,500 in accrued interest, into 33,283,731 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0009 to $0.0016 per share. The Company granted Asher an extension until July 11, 2011 to complete the conversion of this Note. On October 26, 2010, Asher Enterprises entered into third a Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated note holder to purchase the Amended and Restated ten percent (10%) Convertible Note issued to the latter by the Company in the aggregate amount of $64,865 for a $60,000 loan made to the Company in June 2009, plus the $4,865 in interest accrued on such loan. The Note matures on May 31, 2012 and is convertible into common shares at a forty two percent (42%) discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date. The Company has calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature to be $46,971 as of the date of issuance of the debentures using the same criteria as noted above. Between November 2, 2010 and January 26, 2011, Asher converted the entire principal amount of the note into a total of 13,741,791 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.0034 to $.0075 per share.

The Note matured on August 23, 2011 and was convertible into common shares at a thirty nine (39%) discount to the average of the lowest three closing bid prices of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date. Asher may convert any or all of the unpaid principal note prior to the maturity date, commencing one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note. The Company received the proceeds of the Note on December 3, 2010, less a $2,500 reimbursement to Asher for fees and expenses related to the referenced agreements. The value of the conversion feature, $22,377, is being amortized over the life of the loan and the Company has expensed $13,426 of that amount as of July 31, 2011. Between July 19 and July 31, 2011, Asher converted $26,600 of the principal amount of this Note into 66,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.0004 per share.

Notes Payable [Text Block] |
Between May 1 and June 24, 2009, the Company borrowed a total of $95,000 from its Chief Executive Officer, Michael W. Brennan. On February 15, 2010, Mr. Brennan transferred title to $25,000 in principal loans to an unaffiliated third party. This loan was reclassified into a convertible term note with provisions identical to the “Convertible Term Loans” discussed below in this Note 6. It was subsequently sold to Asher Enterprises and converted into common stock. The loans from Mr. Brennan are due upon demand and accrue interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum. The Company has recorded $10,061 in interest expense as of July 31, 2011 on these loans from Mr. Brennan. Our largest stockholder, Anthony M. Frank, loaned the Company $64,000 on September 23, 2009. The loan bears interest at six percent (6%) per annum and is convertible into common stock at the option of the holder. The Company has accrued a total of $7,154 in interest on the loan as of July 31, 2011. The loan was due on March 10, 2010 and the Company is currently negotiating with Mr. Frank to extend the maturity date. On July 15, 2010, Mr. Frank loaned the Company an additional $30,000 at six percent (6%) interest for ninety (90) days. The loan is convertible into common stock at the option of the holder into common stock at $0.025 per share or the average closing price of the common stock for the twenty (20) trading days prior to conversion. The Company accrued interest of $1,884 on this loan as of July 31, 2011 and is negotiating with Mr. Frank to extend the maturity date. On March 28, 2011, the Company borrowed $4,000 from its Chief Financial Officer, Victor A. Hollander. The loan bears interest at the rate of six percent (6%) and is payable on demand. As of the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the Company had accrued $82 in interest on this loan. Convertible Term Loans Between November 1, 2009 and April 20, 2010, the Company borrowed $172,000 from five unaffiliated lenders and $20,000 from our largest stockholder. The Convertible Term Loans mature in twelve (12) months, bear interest at six percent (6%) per annum and require the Company to make payments on the loans each fiscal quarter from a sinking fund to be established from any proceeds received from operating profits, proceeds derived from a securities purchase agreement entered into with Ascendiant Capital Group in October 2009 (which was subsequently terminated by the Company on May 6, 2010), and/or from other equity funding. The loans are convertible, at the option of the lender, into common stock at a twenty percent (20%) discount to fair market value or $0.10 per share, whichever is greater. As additional consideration for the loan, the lender receives restricted common stock, the number of which is determined by dividing the principal amount of the loan by the greater of $0.05 per share or the fair market value on the loan date. One lender also received a two-year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $0.03 per share as additional consideration for a $30,000 loan. During April 2010, the Company borrowed an additional $25,000 under the terms of the above Convertible Term Loans. However, this loan provides that it is convertible at the option of the lender, into common stock at a twenty percent (20%) discount to fair market value or $0.05 per share, whichever is greater. In May 2011, the Company borrowed an additional $30,000 under the Convertible Term Loan arrangement from this same individual. Including the $25,000 loan transferred by Mr. Brennan as discussed above under “Notes Payable,” as of July 31, 2011, the Company had issued 4,540,000 and 600,000 shares of common stock in fiscal 2010 and during the nine months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, for all of the above $257,000 loans and has expensed an aggregate of $19,821 in interest accrued on the loans as of July 31, 2011.

Also, on April 9, 2010, a consultant to the Company converted $55,000 into a convertible term loan. The funds converted represented unpaid fees and expenses that had been accrued on the Company’s books. The terms of the loans are identical to the above Convertible Term Loans received through March 2010 and provide for the issuance of common stock as additional consideration. Consequently, the Company expensed $305,000 in fiscal 2010 on the issuance of 6,100,000 shares of common stock for these loans and has expensed an aggregate of $23,630 in interest accrued on the loans as of July 31, 2011.
