96-well plate inserts

Hello,
Does anyone know of an culture membrane array that may be inserted into a 96-well plate plate?  I need to keep some specimens near the bottom of the wells in glass-bottom 96-well plates.  Millipore makes 2 insert arrays, but both are intended to insert into a shallow plastic 96-well tray.  But, these inserts have a diameter that is too large to fit into the wells of the standard plate.  

Thanks,
Glen

Glen,

Corning makes a transwell that comes in a 96 well format:
Corning® HTS Transwell®-96 Permeable Supports for High Throughput Screening
Applications
http://www.corning.com/lifesciences/latin_america/en/whats_new/cell_culture_and_bioprocess/hts_transwell-96_permeable_supports.aspx

I think you might be able to convince Corning to make the plate with a glass
bottom, as I know they are willing to customize, I just never followed up
with that when I requested this product with glass bottoms some months ago.
