Lab dish inventor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

petri

'lab dish inventor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for petri that I've seen before include "Man with a signature dish" , "Scientist" , "- - dish (science)" , "Sort of dish" , "Laboratory dish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the L.A. Times Daily, the New York Times, The A.V Club, the Universal, the USA Today and the Thinks.com.
