[Histonet] What is this item called?

[Adam Haberman]

Barry, It is 3" x 1 3/4", and the depression has a 1 1/2" diameter.

Thanks for all the ideas so far.  It isn't a hanging drop slide or a watch
glass.  You can see a picture of it next to a depression slide here:

I don't see a better way to send a picture on this list.
