Hi Adam, The photo was helpful. I've used them before in an embryology lab, for dissecting out Drosophila imaginal discs. We had single-well and 3-well versions. The 3 well version was slightly longer than the one you showed, and the wells were smaller, but the general proportions were the same (gently sloping sides, not steep slides like a spot plate). I did some searching because I'd like to have a few for our lab too. The best I could come up with is:
1 - Corning and Fisher Scientific used to carry 3-well versions but both are now discontinued. Corning #7223. Fisher #21-379. 2 - Fisher also carried single well versions (referred to in a number of Drosophila dissection protocols), but no product # mentioned. 3 - these are similar, but the depression is not sloped: http://www.leaveonlybubbles.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=63 4 - Not sure if you are using glass or ceramic spot plates, but there are glass spot plates with more gradually sloping sides that might fit your needs: http://lab-crunch.ecrater.com/p/11132699/corning-pyrex-9-well-spot-plate http://www.mccronemicroscopes.com/store/catalog.asp?item=345&category_id=0 You might try sending your photo to Fisher/Corning etc customer service and see what they come up with. Let me know if you find anything. Good luck!
