Dishes, also known as Petri dishes, are a type of laboratory equipment used to culture and grow microorganisms, cells, and tissues. They are shallow, circular or rectangular plastic or glass containers with a lid or cover that provides a sealed environment for the cells or microorganisms to grow.
Dishes are commonly used in microbiology, cell biology, and tissue culture research. They are also used in clinical microbiology labs for diagnostic purposes, such as culturing bacteria from patient samples to identify the cause of an infection.
The use of dishes has revolutionized the field of microbiology and cell biology, allowing researchers to grow and study microorganisms and cells in a controlled environment. With the help of dishes, scientists can better understand the mechanisms of disease and develop new therapies to combat various infections and diseases.
