If you don't care about the exact size or shape, you can try what I did a
long time ago when I was doing some microinjection of cells and needed to
inject all the cells on small glass chip: I would crush some glass
coverslips in a mortar and pestle, and select out the ones that were the
right size with a pair of fine, pointed forceps.
