___ dish (microbiologist's item) (5)

I believe the answer is:

petri

(Other definitions for petri that I've seen before include "Laboratory dish" , "Sort of dish" , "Bacteriologist giving name to culturing dish" , "- - dish (science)" , "Cultures are grown in a -- dish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
