culture dish
Bacteria growing container
A culture dish is a shallow, flat-bottomed container used to grow microorganisms, cells, or tissue samples in a laboratory.
The dish holds a nutrient medium—agar, broth, or other growth substrates—that supports biological development under controlled conditions.
Petri dish is the common term for the standard lidded version.
