The Petri dish is named after German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri. Petri worked as a military physician for the German army and was assigned to a laboratory in Berlin’s Imperial Health Office in 1887. Building on methods such as the bell jar on a glass plate technique, Petri invented a culture dish very similar to the one we are familiar with today. He named the invention after himself and went on to write a 300-word paper about how to use the dish.
