A Petri dish (alternatively known as a Petri plate or cell-culture dish) is a shallow transparent lidded dish that biologists use to hold growth medium in which cells can be cultured, [1] [2] originally, cells of bacteria, fungi and small mosses. [3]
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 ...

Petri dish The Neogen Petrifilm plate is an all-in-one plating system made by the Food Safety Division of the Neogen Corporation . They are heavily used in many microbiology -related industries and fields to culture various micro-organisms and are meant to be a more efficient method for detection and enumeration compared to conventional plating ...
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.
