http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocalTwo options that come to mind are the MatTek type petri dishes
http://www.glass-bottom-dishes.com/free-sample.html or have your machine
shop make slide shaped blanks out of 1mm thick aluminum or plastic. Then
you can cut or drill out any shape. We routinely cut a 15x15mm square
notch at the middle of the slide opening onto one side of the slide. Now
you can tape (or glue) a 22x22mm cover slip over the open area and use
it on an inverted microscope with the cover slip below the sample and
open above. You can tape another cover slip on the other side of the
slide to have a coverslip-sample-coverslip sandwich with 1mm between
coverslips. All this is predicated on the assumption that the slide does
not need to be glass.
