It was originally designed in 1887 by the bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri (1852–1921), who worked under the German biologist Robert Koch, and is therefore also known as the “Petri dish.” Due to its fragile, breakable nature, the dish should be handled with care during cleaning and when moving it—always picking it up and setting it down gently. After use, it is best to clean the dish promptly and store it in a secure, stable location to prevent damage or breakage.
