Petri dishes is a container for observing the growth behavior of microorcanisms,usuallv, the experimental bacteria arerequired to have a certain activity and quantity, and the experimenter will use a spreading stick to draw a line on theculture medium.
It is often called a microbes petri dish, petri dish plate, and sometimes it is mistakenlv input as bacteria petri dish, petrvdish,petridish,and peetree dish. As one of the most commonlv used consumables in the laboratory, it also has manydifferent specifications and types.
According to its material,it can be divided into glass petre dish and plastic sterile petri dishes type. Glass petri dish arewidely used because they can be sterilized at high temperatures and can be reused, so they are also called autoclavablepetri dish. Plastic petry dish are also called sterile pitri dish because of their high transparency, light weight, and affordableprice. Most of the pietri dish on sale are usually sterilized by gamma rays or electron beams before leaving the factory toensure sterility.
According to the shape, there are round petree dish, square petri dish, and compartmentalized petri dish
Another special cuiture dish is called Confocal Dish, which is an experimental device specially designed for confocalmicroscopy. t is usually made of transparent glass or high-quality plastic to ensure high-resolution imaging under themicroscope. The desian of the confocal culture dish enables cells or samples to be cuitured and observed in a closedsterile environment, which is particularly suitable for long-term microscopic observation and live cell imaging. its size isusually 35mm.
