row of holes or dots Explanation: just an assumption: smear the sample as a row of dots or may be there's an microbiologist instrument that's called "picadura" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 мин (2007-03-08 20:46:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- if i'm not mostaken, there's a special needle in microbioligy, but i do not think they use it for smearing samples |
