The Petri dish is a flat dish filled with a nutritious gelatin that allows for microorganisms to quickly grow, its named after its inventor Julius Petri in the 1880s. Microscope slides are thin strips used to hold items under a microscope. Examples of glassware used for measurements include:
The Petri dish was developed by German physician Julius Richard Petri (after whom the name is given) while working as an assistant to Robert Koch at Berlin University.Petri did not invent the culture dish himself; rather, it was a modified version of Koch's invention [9] which used an agar medium that was developed by Walther Hesse.

Borosil primarily manufactures laboratory glassware [4] and microwavable kitchenware in India. It was established in 1962 in collaboration with Corning Glass Works . [ 5 ] In 1988, Corning divested its shareholding to the current Indian promoters.
Guitar slide made of borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (≈3 × 10 −6 K −1 at 20 °C), making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass.
The Petri dish, widely used in microbiology studies to culture microorganisms. Petri dishes are used as research plates for microbiology studies. The dish is partially filled with warm liquid containing agar, and a mixture of specific ingredients that may include nutrients, blood, salts, carbohydrates, dyes, indicators, amino acids and antibiotics.
A PYREX measuring cup manufactured c. 1980, featuring graduations in both U.S. and metric units. Pyrex (trademarked as PYREX and pyrex) is a brand introduced by Corning Inc. in 1915, initially for a line of clear, low-thermal-expansion borosilicate glass used for laboratory glassware and kitchenware.

An agar plate is a Petri dish that contains a growth medium solidified with agar, used to culture microorganisms. Sometimes selective compounds are added to influence growth, such as antibiotics. [1] 96 pinner used to perform spot assays with yeast, fungal or bacterial cells
