watch glass? Explanation: a guess, I admit. Here is a picture of one. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-14 19:17:05 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://medweb.uni-muenster.de/institute/medmikrobio/lehre/ku... shows a slide with a hollowed-out portion in the middle. Hence,the ominous \"Schliffmulde\" is not a special kind of tool or device, but rather a \"ausgeschliffene Mulde\", a depressed center maybe?

dish Explanation: If you are referring to the small glass containers in which bacterial cultures are taken, I believe they are called "dishes". If you are referring to the small flat plates of glass on which bacterial smears are made, then "plate" may be the more appropriate term. I am only replying because I did not see any other suggestions that I liked. I am not lab scientist. |
