Explanation:
I called a friend of mine, biologist (PhD) in Brazil about this question.
She told me that "canetas vidrográficas" simply means these type of permanent markers that can be used on glass, like these test tubes that they are labeling in this experiment. So my previous answer was wrong "glass dip pen"....sorry about that.

agree  Marjolein Snippe: Very common in any culture lab. One plate, identical circumstances, just divide in two with a line by a marker pen on the bottom of the Petri dish.
