CULTURE DISH

摘要

A culture dish for holding one or more object to be cultured is described. The culture dish has a main body comprising at least one well for receiving an object to be cultured and a quantity of culturing media for the object, such as a water-based growth media, and a reservoir for receiving a quantity of cover media, such as mineral oil. The at least one well is provided in a floor of the reservoir so that when in normal use cover media in the reservoir overlays culturing media in the at least one well. The reservoir is defined by the reservoir floor and a reservoir wall extending away from the reservoir floor. At least a section of the reservoir wall is angled away from the vertical so as to be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane defined by a surface of cover media in the reservoir when the culture dish is in normal use. The angled section of the reservoir wall can help reduce the appearance of a meniscus in the cover media overlaying the wells, and can furthermore be positioned so as to provide a ready indication of when the reservoir contains an appropriate level of cover media for culturing.
