You might consider these ultra-thin windows:

You would need to use these with an objective that has coverslip thickness adjustment, since they are 0.20 mm thick instead of 0.17 mm.  The index and dispersion may also be slightly off from normal coverslips.  The price is quite high, but the optical quality and antireflection coating are excellent.

No commercial interest.  Good luck--Deron
