Petri dish
A Petri dish is a shallow glass or plastic cylindrical lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells or small moss plants. It was named after German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri, who invented it when working as an assistant to Robert Koch. Glass Petri dishes can be reused by sterilization . For experiments where cross-contamination from one experiment to the next can become a problem, plastic Petri dishes are often used as disposables.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Petri dish
