Petri dishes are usually cylindrical, mostly with diameters ranging from 30 to 200 millimetres (1.2 to 7.9 in), [22] [23] and a height to diameter ratio ranging from 1:10 to 1:4. [24] Squarish versions are also available.
As the surface area of most filters is less than that of a standard Petri dish, the linear range of the plate count will be less. [11] The Miles and Misra methods or drop-plate method wherein a very small aliquot (usually about 10 microliters) of sample from each dilution in series is dropped onto a Petri dish. The drop dish must be read while ...

100 mm (3.9 in) diameter Petri dishes containing agar gel for bacterial culture Main article: Agar plate An agar plate or Petri dish is used to provide a growth medium using a mix of agar and other nutrients in which microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi , can be cultured and observed under the microscope.
English: The Evolution of Bacteria on a “Mega-Plate” Petri Dish: Bacteria (white) grow on a large petri dish with increasing concentrations of antibiotic (trimethoprim) in bands towards the center. Evolution of antibiotic resistance can be seen as mutants with higher antibiotic resistance are able to colonise the more central regions.
The molten medium is then poured onto a microscope slide or into an open container, such as a Petri dish, and allowed to cool and form a gel. A solution containing the antigen is then placed in a well that is punched into the gel. The slide or container is then covered, closed or placed in a humidity box to prevent evaporation.

The basic design of the Petri dish has not changed since being created by Petri in 1887. [4] It was a challenge to keep dishes free of dust and extra bacteria that could collect and alter samples; heavy bell jars used for this purpose having proved ineffective, six years later Petri created a transparent plate slightly larger than the dish ...
Aspergillus flavus in a petri dish. Aspergillus flavus is a saprotrophic and pathogenic [1] fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution. [2] It is best known for its colonization of cereal grains, legumes, and tree nuts. Postharvest rot typically develops during harvest, storage, and/or transit.
