Details

Microorganisms are far too small to count with the naked eye, but they form visible colonies when they join together. When a Petri dish is placed on a lighted base, the grid pattern is illuminated. The 12 by 12 grid contains 1 cm x 1 cm squares. 24 of the squares are broken down into smaller increments of 9 squares, each 1/3 cm in size. To calculate an average colony count per square, the visible colonies are added together and divided by the total number of squares.

Since the Petri dish is close to the light source, it is recommended to use an LED bulb to reduce the risk of heat damaging the sample. The apparatus has a standard bulb base. The power cord has an inline on/off switch.

Overall dimensions are 9” x 9” x 7”, 3.1 pounds. Required but not included is a light bulb. Includes access to a downloadable activity guide.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
